Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add carrots and celery to the pot and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the shredded chicken, salt, pepper, and thyme, and let it simmer while you prepare the dumplings.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sea salt, and parsley. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and coconut milk.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more coconut milk until a soft dough forms.
Using your hands, form the dough into small dumplings, approximately 1-inch in diameter.
Gently add the dumplings into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and let cook for about 15 minutes. The dumplings should float to the top and be cooked through.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Paleo dumpling soup.
