Instructions

Fresh Herb Bundle

Combine the sprigs of rosemary, thyme, and the sage leaves into a bundle and tie them together with cooking twine. Set aside.

Soup

Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart stock pot.
Add the onion, carrot, and celery (mirepoix).
Saute the mirepoix until the onions are translucent and the carrot and celery have softened.
Add the garlic, and cook for one minute.
Add the flour to the pot, stir and cook for one minute.
Add the water and chicken base. Stir until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
Add the chicken, bay leaves, and herb bundle.
Bring the mixture to a boil.
Turn down the heat to bring the mixture to a simmer.
Allow it to simmer while you make the dumplings.

Dumplings

In a small saucepan, melt the butter.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and milk.
Mix with a whisk until combined.
Using a small scoop, drop dumpling batter into the hot soup.
Let the soup with dumplings simmer for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted into the dumplings and come out clean.
Garnish with parsley.

Notes

Culinarian Tips, Tricks, and Suggestions:

This dish can be prepared the day you wish to serve it, or it can be prepared ahead of time and stored. You can freeze the soup in a freezer-safe bag or put the soup in the refrigerator for a few days. The key is not to add the dumplings until ready to heat and serve. Remove the soup from the fridge or freezer, bring it to a simmer, and then follow the steps to make and add the dumplings.
