Chicken and Vegetable Soup
- 1/2 whole chicken
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup of diced onion
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 2 minced cloves of garlic
- 2 small bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried basil

- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- 2/3 cup of milk
Instructions
- Dice onions, carrots, celery, and mince the garlic. In the crockpot layer chicken vegetables and spices. Pour 4 cups of chicken stock over them and stir until combined. Turn crockpot on low for eight hours or on high for four.
- After the four or eight hours check to see if the chicken can easily be removed from the bone. If so, remove the chicken from crockpot and pick all the chicken from the bones. Keep the lid on the crockpot to retain the heat of the soup mixture while de-boning the chicken.
- Add the shredded chicken back to the crockpot. With the chicken soup still cooking mix up your dumpling batter.
- Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a separate a bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or two forks until it resembles fine sand. Slowly add the milk with the flour mixture until it is combined. Your batter will be sticky.
- Remove cover from the crockpot and drop large tablespoons of dumpiling mix into the hot chicken soup. Return the cover and let stem for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes they may still look sticky on the outside, but they will be flaky and done in the center.
Notes
- My family loves this better the second day. The dumplings will have soaked up much of the broth and left a thick yummy chicken mixture. Enjoy!
