How to Make It

1. Step
In a 6-quart Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.
2. Step
Add carrot and onion and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes.
3. Step
Add the garlic and stir for another minute, until fragrant.
4. Step
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter and flour, stirring constantly for 3 minutes to prevent lumps from forming.
5. Step
Add the chicken and any accumulated juices back to the pot and stir to coat in the roux.
6. Step
Add the chicken broth, cream, thyme, and bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Once soup is at a simmer, add the frozen peas, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
7. Step
Make the dumplings: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cream. Stir until mixture comes together into single mass of dough.
8. Step
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, form the dough into small round balls about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) in diameter (the dough should yield 14-16 dumplings).
9. Step
Place the dough balls in the simmering soup (making sure they don’t touch),add the parsley, and cover. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
10. Step
Ladle into bowls, giving 1-2 dumplings per serving.
11. Step
Enjoy!
