Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened.

2. Stir in garlic and thyme. Cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

3. Pour in chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Stir until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Add shredded chicken. Let it heat through for about 5 minutes.

7. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.

Notes

This recipe works best with non-flaky biscuits for better dumpling texture.

Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.

To reheat leftovers, add a splash of broth or milk to loosen the soup.
