Course and Cuisine

Ingredients

1 cup cooked chicken shredded (I use leftover shredded rotisserie chicken)
3-4 cups water
1/2 cup onion finely chopped
4 celery ribs finely chopped
3 medium carrots finely chopped
1 teaspoon celery seed
3 teaspoons sage divided
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup almond flour
2 servings Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow 2 individual packages or 2 scoops
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons cold salted butter cubed
5 large eggs whisked with a fork
2 teaspoons dried parsley or 2 tbls fresh

Instructions

In a deep pot, combine chicken, water, onion, celery, carrots, celery seed, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon sage.
Cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Prepare the dumpling dough: Mix almond flour, Keto Chow, 2 teaspoons sage, parsley, and baking powder in a large bowl.
Cut in cubed butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Add beaten eggs to the mixture and stir to form a stiff dough. It may appear lumpy due to the cold butter.
Drop the dough by large tablespoons onto the simmering soup.
Cover the pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes without lifting the lid.
Once dumplings are cooked through, serve the soup immediately and enjoy!
