Ingredients :
  • 2 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 5 oz. buttermilk
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Chicken Soup
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 4 stalks celery, sliced
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 8 cups low or no sodium chicken stock
  • 4 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 medium leek, white and light green, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
Directions :
  1. Melt the butter on low in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion and leek along with a pinch of salt and saute until very soft, about 15 minutes. Add the flour, increase the heat to medium, and stir with a whisk for 2 minutes.
  2. Pour in the stock and whisk as it comes to a simmer and starts bubbling. Simmer the stock for 30 minutes, whisking as needed. (Mix the dumpling batter now.)
  3. Add the carrots, celery, salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring back to a simmer. Add the cream and diced chicken.
  4. Once the soup has come back to a simmer, drop in the biscuits in generous tablespoon-sized amounts into the soup.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Serve with extra chopped chives over the top.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder, and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter.
  7. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour. Sprinkle the chives over the top. Using a large silicone spatula, mix the dumpling batter together in a few swift strokes. Do not overmix.
  8. Set the batter aside until it is time to add the dumplings to the soup.
