It’s no secret that chicken soup has healing powers and my herb and garlic dumplings bump the taste to the next level.

Have you grown up eating this rich, stick to your bones chicken and dumpling soup? If not you are in for a treat. This recipe comes straight from my grandmother. She is the one, who made it for us grandkids. The only change I introduced is the herbs and garlic in the dumplings to give them a bit more flavour. As soon as this pot of soup was done simmering on the stove, the delicious aroma of dill, parsley, chicken and herb and garlic dumplings took me straight back to my childhood This chicken and dumpling soup is known in Ukraine and Russia as “soup s galushkami”, which simply means “soup with galushki” (dumplings). The recipe I am sharing today is made 100% from scratch, including the chicken stock. But you are not willing to go that far, the same great taste could be achieved using a good quality store bought chicken broth.
What is in chicken and dumpling soup?
As the name suggests the main players are chicken and fluffy homemade dumplings. The rest is up to you. I love adding carrots, onions, celery, potatoes and herbs to mine. But don’t let my suggestion stop you. You can add any vegetables you love or the ones that need to be used up. Peas, beans, sweet potato or butternut squash will work well in place of a regular potato. Let your imagination and taste guide you! More cold weather soup recipes
