Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or boiled)
  • 1 1/2 cups egg noodles
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (for dumplings)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  2. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Stir well.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Add cooked shredded chicken and egg noodles. Simmer for 7–8 minutes until noodles are tender.
  5. Meanwhile, make dumplings: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until a soft dough forms.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough into the simmering soup. Cover and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until dumplings are puffed and cooked through.
  7. Gently stir soup, making sure dumplings are not sticking. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use leftover or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Add a splash of cream for a richer broth if desired.
  • Don’t lift the lid while dumplings cook to keep them fluffy.
  • Use homemade or store-bought broth based on preference.
