Instructions
In a large stock pot add a little butter or coconut and saute onions for 2 minutes, add carrots and celery and saute for 5 minutes. Add spices and one cup broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the rest of the broth and turn up heat to medium high.
When the broth is warm/hot place the raw chicken breasts in the broth and let them cook until done (about 15-20 minutes). Bring broth to low boil and then turn down to a simmer and cover pot. After 20 minutes your chicken should be cooked. Take a slotted spoon and remove chicken to a clean plate. Shred the chicken using 2 forks. Add chicken back to pot. Cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes to let flavors saturate.
For the Dumplings
Make dumpling batter right before you plan to cook them (the batter shouldn't sit around much). Prepare the dumplings according to the package instructions but generally it goes like this: place flour mix, milk, oil and eggs into bowl. Stir the mixture a few times to combine. Don't over mix and yes it should be lumpy.
Scoop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter into the pot. You will make 8-10 dumplings depending on your spoon size. Cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes until dumplings are done.
Recipe Notes
** If Kula Baby is going through a picky eating phase, we blend his soup up and add a few dumplings to his bowl. He loves this.
