This Homemade Chicken Dumpling Soup is a favorite comfort food for winter. It’s so delicious that when I make it, we often end up having it again the next night because we still crave it, just like what happened last week. I made it on Wednesday, the family wanted it again, so we had it for dinner again on Thursday. Yum! What makes this chicken and dumpling soup even better, apart from the homemade dumplings, is the generous mix of wholesome veggies it contains. With hearty ingredients like potatoes, celery, and carrots, it’s a complete and satisfying meal that embodies the essence of a classic chicken soup. Looking for more comforting meals?

Are dumplings hard to make?
Not at all. Homemade dumplings are so easy to make! It’s really just mixing flour, baking powder, salt, egg, water and vegetable oil together and then dropping the dough pieces into hot broth to form the dumpling. Tip: If you find that the dough is too sticky to handle when ripping apart, just sprinkle some flour on your hands. My dumplings might not be the prettiest you’ve ever seen, but they sure taste delicious!

Can I substitute or add additional vegetables? Feel fee to make it your own and add additional vegetables if you’re trying to empty out the fridge or freezer – corn, onions, peas, green beans, and bite size cauliflower are all equally good in it. Just don’t skip on the potatoes – never skip on the potatoes! Can I use chicken bouillon cubes instead of broth? Absolutely, I do it all the time. Can I make this vegetarian? You sure can. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and don’t add in chicken breast. You might want to add in some additional protein like white or great northern beans. Hope you enjoy this soup for dinner sometime soon! Pin for later:
