This method delivers a “melt-in-your-mouth” richness with a professional finish in one pot.
The “Magic” Ingredients
• The Soup Base: 4 cups Chicken Broth, 2 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken, 1 cup Carrots & Celery (sliced), and ½ cup Heavy Cream (the “secret” to that “unbelievable” professional-grade creaminess).
• The “Treasure” Dumplings: 1 ½ cups Almond Flour, 1 tsp Baking Powder, 1 Egg, and ½ tsp Xanthan Gum (the “magic touch” for that “wow” doughy texture).
• The Aromatics: 1 tsp Dried Thyme, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• The Garnish: Freshly chopped Parsley for that “steakhouse-quality” presentation.
Preparation Steps
1. The Simmer: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth, carrots, celery, and seasonings to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender.
2. The Dough: In a glass bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and egg until a “velvety,” thick dough forms.
3. The “Wow” Drop: Roll the dough into small “bakery-perfect” balls or drop by the spoonful into the simmering broth, exactly like the professional setup in your picture!
4. The Steam: Cover the pot and let the dumplings steam for 10–12 minutes. They will puff up into an “unbelievable” fluffy texture.
5. The Creamy Finish: Stir in the shredded chicken and heavy cream. Let it heat through until the broth is “smothered” in richness.
6. The Reveal: Ladle into bowls and garnish with parsley for a “steakhouse-quality” meal that feels like a “heritage treasure.”
