Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium, diced carrots
- 2 diced celery stalks
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Place the chicken breasts in the pot, followed by the chicken broth, bay leaf, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, and baking powder. Mix well.
Add the coconut milk and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the simmering soup, making approximately 8-10 dumplings.
Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are firm and cooked through.
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy your hearty paleo chicken dumpling soup.
