Shredded chicken and tender dumplings in a creamy and flavorful soup, all made with easy and convenient ingredients!<\/p>\n

When I was in college, I actually didn’t mind eating in our dining halls. \u00a0I lived on campus my first 2 years and had the 7-day a week eating plan. We didn’t have to eat at the dining halls, we had plenty of take-out options — one hall let you use up a couple meals worth of points to get a pizza, one place did burgers and fries, and pretty much all of them let you do a combo of Nutrigrain bars, cereal, Poptarts, chips, soup, etc. \u00a0The soup was one of my favorites — it was a chicken and dumpling soup that I would sometimes stock up on and store in my mini-fridge in my room.<\/p>\n

It’s been more years than I care to admit since I lived in the dorms, but I can still remember the soup. \u00a0And luckily, I found a recipe<\/a> online a few years ago that came very close to recreating it. \u00a0The reviews of the recipe provided some good tweaks that made it taste more and more like what I remembered.<\/p>\n

This isn’t a fancy recipe by any means. \u00a0And it’s definitely not a “from-scratch” recipe, but don’t let the convenience items stop you from trying it out!<\/p>\n

Chicken and Dumpling Soup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (should have about 6-8)<\/p>\n

2 10.75 cans condensed cream of “whatever” soup — I use cream of chicken and cream of celery<\/p>\n

4 cups chicken broth<\/p>\n

2 bay leaves<\/p>\n

Seasonings such as garlic powder, black\/white pepper, any poultry-related flavors<\/p>\n

1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup frozen peas and carrots (optional)<\/p>\n

*Note -you probably won’t need much salt due to the broth, condensed soups, and seasonings.<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/span><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Place chicken thighs in large pot with broth, bay leaves, and seasonings and bring to boil over high heat. \u00a0Boil for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked. \u00a0Reduce heat to low.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Remove chicken from pot and shred using 2 forks. \u00a0Return chicken to pot. \u00a0Add frozen peas and carrots if using. \u00a0Add both cans of condensed soup. \u00a0Stir to combine, then bring heat back to medium-high.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Open tube of biscuit dough. \u00a0Tear each biscuit into 4 pieces and add to pot. \u00a0Simmer for 8-10 minutes or until biscuit dumplings are cooked through.<\/p>\n
