The combination of tender chicken, fluffy dumplings, and a rich, savory broth makes it a favorite for many. It’s a great recipe to try when you want to impress your family with a homemade meal that feels like a warm hug.
This chicken and dumpling soup pairs beautifully with a simple side salad or some crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
