Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large yellow onion (diced)
  • 3 stalks celery (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup matchstick carrots
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken (use a rotisserie chicken for ease)
  • 8 oz evaporated milk (or half and half)
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 40 oz chicken broth
  • salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 (16.3 oz) can buttermilk biscuits (if you like a lot of biscuits, add an extra 5 oz can of biscuits)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large heavy bottomed pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add vegetables - onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Cook, stirring often until tender, about 6 to 8 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the shredded cooked chicken, chicken broth, evaporated milk, and can of cream of chicken and bring to a simmer. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cut the biscuits into quarters (each biscuit will be sliced into 4 equal pieces) and lightly toss them in flour.

  4. 4

    Add the floured biscuits to the soup and lightly press them under the broth with a spoon or spatula. Place the lid on the pot and cook the dumplings for about 8 to 10 minutes. I like to break apart the dumplings, and press them back under the broth, if they get stuck together.

  5. 5

    Test one of the biscuits to ensure they have cooked through and are not raw in the middle. Once the biscuits are cooked through, serve immediately!
