Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 cups chicken broth

  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the pot, stirring until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and add thyme, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to mix well.
  • Add the milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  • After the soup has simmered, add the frozen peas and gently drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the soup surface.
  • Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook in the soup for about 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
  • After 10 minutes, check if the dumplings are cooked through. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
