Sprinkle in the flour and cook, whisking continuously, until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes

Slowly stir in the chicken stock, then bring to a boil over high heat

Reduce the heat to medium-low to and simmer until the carrots and celery are tender, and the soup has thickened about 5-6 minutes

Stir in the milk, salt, pepper, dill, and chicken and let simmer.Meanwhile, make the dumplings

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk and whole milk

Using a wooden spoon carefully mix dumpling dough, stirring just until moistened (do not overmix)

Drop tablespoon-size dough balls into the soup

Cover and cook until dumplings have quadrupled in size and have a biscuit-like texture, about another 15 minutes

Stir, to incorporate the dumplings

Divide between bowls and top with green onions, sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
