crock pot chicken soup with dumplings

So I’ve been sick for a bit lately with the ol’ swine flu. The Wife suggested I make some chicken dumpling soup in the crockpot so it could cook while I rested and then it would be hot and ready for dinner. It was so easy and is hands-down the best soup I’ve ever made, and in the top 5 for best soups ever. Would you like to know how to make it? Sure!

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 1/2 quarts low-sodium chicken broth (I used Trader Joe’s)
  • one medium-sized yellow onion, diced
  • 1 lb bag of frozen peas n carrots
  • 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
  • salt
  • pepper
  • herbs de provence
  • 2 packages of pillsbury biscuits (shhhh)
  1. chop chicken into 1” pieces, put into the bottom of a large (5qt) crockpot.
  2. add salt, pepper, herbs de provence
  3. dice onion, add to crockpot
  4. add bag of frozen peas & carrots
  5. add chicken stock
  6. add cream of mushroom soup
  7. put on lid, cook on high for 5-6 hrs
  8. after 5-6 hrs, open biscuits and quarter the raw dough, biscuit by biscuit. The objective is to have small bits of dough.
  9. drop them into the soup, stirring it up after a layer of dough has been added
  10. cover, and continue to cook for another 1-1.5 hrs
  11. ENJOY

that’s it! This made a ton and was delicious and incredibly creamy. Enjoy!
