# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables soften and become fragrant.
02 -
Add salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried parsley, and paprika to the vegetables. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavors.
03 -
Stir shredded chicken and frozen peas into the simmering broth. Maintain a gentle simmer.
04 -
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder. Cut in cold cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until a soft dough forms without overmixing.
05 -
Drop spoonfuls of dough evenly over the simmering soup surface using a tablespoon. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer gently without boiling or lifting the lid.
06 -
Simmer dumplings for 15 minutes until puffed and cooked through, allowing them to absorb broth flavors.
07 -
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Avoid lifting the lid while dumplings cook to ensure proper rising and texture.
