Hearty Chicken Soup » RecipeCollage.com » February 21, 2025 — It was cold last Sunday, it was a great day to make a couple of soups.

1 large Chicken Breasts seasoned with salt and pepper (bone in, skin on)
half large Onions diced
3 Celery Stalks sliced
3 Carrots sliced
1 large Parsnip sliced
1 small Turnip sliced
3-4 Potatoes (depending on size)
1 CUP of peas (frozen or canned) couple things of Fresh Thyme
piece of Fresh Rosemary
2 TBSP Summer Savory
2-3 bay leaves
Salt and Pepper to taste
Oil and Butter for pot
6-8 cups water (you can use some stock if you prefer but we don’t find you need it)

Hearty Chicken Soup » RecipeCollage.com » February 21, 2025 — 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.

Hearty Chicken Soup » RecipeCollage.com » February 21, 2025 — 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.

Hearty Chicken Soup » RecipeCollage.com » February 21, 2025 — 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.

Hearty Chicken Soup » RecipeCollage.com » February 21, 2025 — 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!

Use a biscuit cutter or glass works fine as well to cut as many circles out as possible. Then I remove all the excess dough around the circles and give a light spray on circles with non stick spray. Then take a kebab stick or chop stick and lay across the centre of circle and flip the dough in half. Pull the stick out, and then you want to roll that down with a rolling pin again. Place in your streamer under non stick sheets. Repeat and finish the rest of dough. Then we let rise another half hour before steaming.
