It's time for soup! Anytime is right for comfort foods I say, and this is a comfort food. It's quick and easy to make, you don't have to make dumplings from scratch with this recipe, just buy ready to serve biscuits either in a can or frozen bag and take out 3-4 cut up in quarters and you will have dinner in no time. 

What you need to make it:

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1 onion diced or sliced thin

3-4 cloves of garlic minced or sliced small

1 cup celery sliced or diced
1/2 cup flour
3-4 cups milk or broth works too
1 Tbsp chicken bouillon or 3 cubes
1 pkg fresh or frozen chicken, thawed, cubed(2 cups)
1/2 tsp white pepper

1 tsp poultry seasoning(or Italian seasoning or a mixture of herbs that go into poultry seasoning)

1/2 tsp salt(I use himalayan or sea salt)

1/2 to 1 cup sliced carrots
1-2 cup or more frozen or fresh peas, corn, any vegetable you have or prefer works here
3-4 Giant Grand Biscuits cut into 4 pieces each(I use Grands)

How to make it:

In a large pot drizzle about 3 turns of olive oil, let it get nice and hot

then add your onion, garlic and celery and cook till translucent and tender.

Set this mixture aside. In the same pot if needed add a little more oil

cook chicken and stir occasionally till cooked through. Remove set aside with onion mixture
Melt butter, add flour gradually, whisking all the time. Add milk or broth
gradually, whisking vigorously so it doesn't lump. Add bouillon and white
pepper. Continue to stir occasionally over very low heat until mixture
begins to thicken. When sauce is thickened, add chicken and cooked onion, celery and garlic to the pot, drop biscuits by small teaspoonfuls into simmering sauce. Cover
tightly and check after 7- 10 minutes. Npw add the rest of your vegetables and simmer. When dumplings are done, stir and serve. It will be hot. 

I served this with a side salad so delicious.
