Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups cubed cooked chicken

Directions

In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, chicken, celery, carrots and sage. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
In a small bowl, combine the dumpling ingredients. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto simmering soup. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering).

I was surprised at how good this was, especially since it was quick & easy. The whole family gave it great reviews and there were no leftovers. Will definitely become a regular recipe at our house.

This soup was simple but good. Next time, however, I'm going to use a potato dumpling recipe that calls for flour instead of bisquick because gluten free bisquick can get really expensive.

I make this all the time regardless of the season. It is one of our favorites! I like to cut the liquid a little so it becomes more like a thick stew.

Easy recipe..my kids like to put the dumplings in. I use my indoor grill to cook the chicken and add some steak season to it for more favor. I need to double the recipe next time..got 6 bowls but I want some leftovers of this one!
