Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • Cut the biscuit dough into evenly sized pieces so the dumplings cook at the same rate.
  • Stir gently every few minutes to keep the dumplings from sticking together without breaking them apart.
  • Rotisserie chicken makes this recipe even quicker and adds great flavor.
  • Cover the pot while the dumplings cook so they become light and fluffy.
Store. When placed in an airtight container in the refrigerator, leftovers of this classic chicken soup can be stored for 3-4 days. 
Freeze. Allow soup to cool and pour it into an airtight freezer-safe container. Label and freeze for 3-4 months. Thaw completely in the fridge and reheat in a pot on the stove.  
Slow Cooker Directions: Combine broth, soup, and chicken in the slow cooker and cook for 2–3 hours on low. Add all remaining ingredients except the parsley and cook for 1–2 hours more. Be sure to keep the lid on as much as possible. Top with parsley and serve.
