Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet onion finely diced
  • 1 cup sliced carrots (1/4 inch thick)
  • 2 medium ribs celery thinly sliced
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 10.75 oz can cream of chicken with herbs soup
  • 3 14.5 oz cans low sodium chicken stock or broth
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried tarragon
  • 2 1/2 cups buttermilk baking mix [i.e. Bisquick or similar]
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Instructions

  • In the bottom of a large heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter. Add diced onion, sliced carrots and celery. Season with salt and black pepper to your taste. Cook for 5-8 minutes, until the vegetables are beginning to soften and brown.
  • Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour stirring to coat the vegetables.
  • To the pot add bay leaf, canned soup, chicken broth, chopped chicken, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and tarragon.  Taste and adjust the salt and black pepper to your taste. Stir well.
  • Increase the burner temperature and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together the buttermilk baking mix and buttermilk.
  • Using Tablespoon or 1 1/2 ounce (medium) ice cream scoop divide the dumpling dough dropping into the boiling broth.
  • After all of the dumpling dough has been added, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cover. Do not lift the lid for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, uncover the pot and use a large spoon to gently press the dumplings into the broth.
  • Remove from the heat. Allow to rest uncovered for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Stir the dumplings through the broth just before serving. (This will naturally thicken the broth.)

Notes

To thicken the broth further, remove the dumplings to a platter and keep warm. Bring broth to a simmer. Dissolve 2-3 Tbsp flour in cold water or milk, and whisk into the broth. Repeat until you reach your desired consistency. Return the dumplings to the pot and stir before serving.
