# What You'll Need:
→ Broth & Chicken
01 - 6 cups chicken broth
02 - 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
→ Veggies & Dumplings
03 - 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables
04 - 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into pieces

05 - Salt, to taste
06 - Black pepper, to taste
07 - Herbs, as desired (such as thyme or parsley)

02 - Drop pieces of biscuit dough into the simmering mixture. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until fully puffed and cooked through.
03 - Uncover and season the soup with salt, pepper, and desired herbs. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.
# 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.
