- Perfect for chilly nights or when you need a big bowl of "everything's gonna be okay."
I’ve loved chicken and dumplings since I was a kid – any kind, even the Sweet Sue kind in the can. In my late teens, I learned how shockingly easy they are to make at home with just a few pantry staples and a mirepoix. Okay, mirepoix sounds fancy (it should, it’s French), but really it’s just celery, carrots, and onion. This is the trifecta of veggies that kick off countless recipes.
While most of my recipes are packed with vegetables for good nutrition, this one keeps it simple with that classic trio. It’s the perfect recipe for one of those long, hard days when you just want to veg out and feel gloriously lazy on the couch. Cooking the flour with the veggies first adds a subtle nutty flavor and turns the broth into a thick, cozy soup. Then the dumplings, those little carbohydrate-laden love bombs, show up to turn your day around.
10/10, I love this recipe.
