How to Make Chicken & Dumplings Soup

Step 1: Prepare the Soup Base

Heat the Olive Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 2: Add Broth and Seasonings

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the shredded chicken, dried thyme, dried rosemary, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
