Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 Tablespoons butter salted
- 1 Can biscuits Grands
- ¼ Cup all purpose flour
- 32 Ounces chicken broth
- 10½ Ounces condensed cream of celery soup
- 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- ½ Teaspoon black pepper
- ½ Teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ¼ Teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 Cup whole milk
- ½ Cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 10 Ounces carrots shredded or cut into matchsticks
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley chopped or 1 Teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 rotisserie chicken chopped or shredded
- 4 Ounces spinach fresh
Instructions
- Sauté the onions with the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven, and cook until golden.
- While the onions cook, prepare the biscuit dough by rolling each piece out to be about ⅛-inch thick, then cut into 1-inch squares. Use the flour as needed if the dough is sticking to the counter or to itself. Set the dumplings aside.
- When the onions are golden, add the chicken broth, cream of celery soup, and spices. Mix well, then add the milk and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle boil.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese.
- Add the dumplings and stir frequently for a few minutes to ensure they don’t stick together.
- Add the carrots and parsley and let the mixture cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Give the soup a taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Just before serving add the fresh spinach.
Notes
Sticky dough: Use as much flour as you need when rolling out and cutting the biscuit dough because it will stick together if you aren't careful.
Consistency: The biscuits and flour help thicken the soup up but you can add a cornstarch slurry if you want it thicker still. If it's too thick, thin it with additional chicken broth.
Streamline the meal: Choose rotisserie chicken and refrigerated biscuits to cut down on your prep time.
