My husband was fooled with this low-fat recipe and I'm sure your family will be, too! A savory broth, hearty chunks of chicken and thick chewy dumplings provide plenty of comforting flavor. —Brenda White of Morrison, Illinois

Chicken Dumpling Soup Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Cook: 50 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

15 50 65

Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes
3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 cups water
4 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
DUMPLINGS:
3 egg whites
1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken until no longer pink. Add the broth, water, vegetables and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, for dumplings, in a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cottage cheese until blended. Add water and salt. Stir in the flour and mix well.
Bring soup to a boil. Drop dumplings by tablespoonfuls onto the boiling soup. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in dumplings comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering). Yield: 4 servings.

Very good.

Sooo good!!! You would never know this is a lighter version of a comfort food classic. The soup is very flavorful and the dumplings are so moist and also very flavorful. This instantly became a family favorite.

This soup was excellent! Very easy, low fat and had a lot of flavor. Truly, I'd eat just the broth alone, it's that good. It was also very filling and the dumplings had a wonderful texture. This has quickly become a winter tradition in our family.

This soup is very easy to make and taste delicious! I used bisquik for the dumplings and when simmering while covered, the soup became very creamy.

My daughter won't eat carrots but routinely asks me to make this. Good leftover, too.
