• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)

1 large onion (peeled and diced)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

4 celery stalks (thinly sliced)

4 carrots (thinly sliced)

4 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric (for color)

1 bay leaf

64 ounces low-sodium chicken stock

1/4 cup chopped parsley

Pepper (to taste)

3/4 cup flour

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (finely minced)

1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely minced)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

3/4 cup whole milk

Directions

In a large sauce pot, melt the Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, celery and carrots. Cook for 8–10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Add the mustard, turmeric, bay leaf and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Then cover, lower the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, put the ingredients for the dumplings in a medium bowl. Mix with a fork until a wet doughy consistency is reached.

Once the soup base has cooked down for 15 minutes, bring the temperature back up to a boil. Stir in the chicken and parsley. Then use a spoon to drop scant 1/2-teaspoon lumps of dough into the soup. Simmer 5 minutes, until the chicken and dumplings are cooked through. Remove the bay leaf and serve warm.
