Surprise your taste buds with this modern take on an old classic. Just add dill and dumplings!

Ingredients

  • 9 cups homemade chicken broth, recipe link below

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 celery stalks, diced with leaves, about 1 cup

  • 1 large carrots, diced, about 1 cup

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced, about 1 cup

  • 1/4 cup chopped dill

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1/4 tsp salt

Dumplings

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 cup milk, at room temperature

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • WHISK egg in a large bowl. Whisk in milk, butter and salt. Gradually add flour and whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until batter is cold, 45 min to 1 hour.

  • BOIL chicken broth in a large pot. Add chicken, celery, carrot, onion, dill, garlic and salt. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Gently boil until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 min.

  • SCOOP batter into 20 portions. Add to simmering soup and cook until all dumplings float to the top, 5 to 7 min. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with more dill, if desired.
