Were are liking our new induction burner! Get your pan nice and hot. We like to add some butter and oil to bottom of the pan. Add in your chicken breast skin side down. Brown chicken on all sides. Once this is done the bottom of your pot should start to get some color and flavor on it. We then add in all the veggies in (minus potatoes) and cook for 2-3 pieces stirring very well. Then add in your water little at a time. All while stirring and getting all the bits removed from bottom of your pan.

Once chicken and veggies are covered with water, we add in the potatoes, salt, pepper and all the herbs. Bring to boil, then lower heat and simmer.

Cook til veggies are done. Chicken will also be done at this time. Take out chicken. Discard skin and bones, cut chicken up and put back in soup along with the peas.

Depending on your taste you may or may not want more salt and pepper! We enjoy this soup. We have it at least twice a month. My kids prefer the dumplings in it, as do I. Hope your family enjoys it as much as we do!
