# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Ready in just over thirty minutes and perfect for busy weeknights
  • Uses store bought biscuit dough which means no kneading or rolling
  • Minimal chopping required by using frozen mixed vegetables
  • A nourishing meal that warms you from the inside out
02 -
  • Entire pot comes together in just one dish for easy cleanup
  • Leftovers taste even better one or two days later
  • Dumplings will soak up broth as soup sits making it even heartier
03 -
  • Do not rush the dumpling steaming time. Keeping the lid on tight is the key to dumplings that are tender and pillowy rather than dense.
  • Always taste and season at the very end since broth saltiness and chicken flavor can vary from batch to batch. When storing leftovers add a splash of broth or water after reheating to keep the soup silky.
