There is just something very comforting about chicken & dumplings. I love both the stew version and the soup version. Both are equally delicious and cozy. This soup version uses rotisserie chicken. It matters not if you cooked it yourself or if you were slacking like me and picked it up at Costco!
Look at that! Creamy broth, succulent chicken, sweet carrots and light fluffy dumplings can satisfy your longing for good home cooked comfort food! Trust me! I know!

Notes
I have a lovely spice shop that I am able to get dried sage leaves from but I am sure not everyone has access to this. You can substitute 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground sage.
Thank you!
TOTALLY AWESOME!
I’M doing Trim Healthy Mamas & this is great as the family enjoys the dumplings & the soup is GREAT FOR ME!!
I must have missed this wonderful complement. Thank you so much!
I love those soup recipes and have tried some of them . I really like your site.
Thanks so much!!! I appreciate it!!
i haven’t tried it yet but it smelled wonderful. i have to say my broth is very dark from the sage?!
You must have good fresh sage!! Well what did you think?
Can you use powered sage
Yes but it is far more concentrated. Cut back to 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon. Add a little taste and then add a little more if desired
This reminds me of my grandmother’so. Would you share the “STEW RECIPE” that you spoke of.
Yes I sure can. I will do that today on Facebook!
How much servings does this make?
4 servings. Sorry about the delay. I changed host companies last night and a couple of things went haywire.
