Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is the easiest option for this recipe and adds great flavor with minimal prep.
- Cut each biscuit into evenly sized pieces so the dumplings cook through properly.
- Keep the soup at a gentle simmer while the dumplings cook. Boiling too aggressively can affect the texture.
- Prefer smaller dumplings? Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces instead of 4.
- For an extra creamy broth, stir in up to 1 cup heavy cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Add peas, corn or green beans to make the soup even heartier.
- Leftovers reheat beautifully and the soup thickens slightly as it sits.
