Chicken Soup With Sweet Potato Dumplings Recipe
Hey, hey it’s soup time. Make this Chicken Soup With Sweet Potato Dumplings Recipe. It ticks so many boxes for being a yummy soup to make.
Do you love chicken soup? How about chicken soup with dumplings? Chicken Soup with Sweet Potato Dumplings will be a hit for dinner.
We adapted it from a slow cooker recipe to a stovetop recipe. Typically I love cooking slow cooker recipes. But, I took Sammie to get her driver’s permit. Which means standing in line, waiting, and waiting…
Chicken Soup with Sweet Potato Dumplings
What?! How is this happening? My baby is gone and is growing up. I’m scared to death to have her drive, despite seeing 4 other kids go on to become great drivers. Sigh, no turning back now. Our DMV appointment, with an appointment, took hours! You’d think it would be faster?
Despite her finishing the test rather quickly, foot tapping, and waiting for the 1 of 3 clerks to give us the details. She passed! And that’s how the 6-hour slow cooker chicken and sweet potato dumplings turned stove-top recipe. So let’s get cooking.
I started with this great cookbook with easy-to-make recipes that I received for free to review. The cookbook is called Sunday Suppers.
The day before I had made the classic roast chicken on page 57.
This is a mildly flavored chicken so if you love cooking Mexican, or Italian you might adapt it slightly if making it just for dinner. This feedback comes from my teen, who prefers spicy food.
But, the chicken is perfect for the soup, very juicy, and tender. Anyway, that night I just pulled the other half of the chicken meat (that we didn’t eat for dinner) off the bone.
I chopped up the chicken and put it in my glass meal storage container, and into the fridge for the next day to make soup.
I’ve tried two recipes from the cookbook and enjoyed them both. I can’t wait to try a few more recipes to share them with you. I like their menu plans, desserts, sweet potato cornbread, and other dinner recipes.
The cookbook has a nice mix of seasonal meal plans. All perfect for Sunday dinners, and gatherings. There are even a few grilling recipes in the cookbook.
Are you ready to cook this chicken soup with dumplings?
How to make Chicken Soup with Sweet Potato Dumplings
Cook your chicken or use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken. Using pre-cooked chicken makes this adapted recipe even easier!
Wash, and chop up your veggies. Peel garlic, then mince it. Peel onion, then chop it up. Add in your herbs, and spices.
Sauté your veggies with spices.
Add in your pre-cooked, and chopped organic chicken. Then add the 2-boxes of organic chicken broth.
Then add the lid to the pot and let it simmer while making your dumplings. (I bet you could adapt this recipe, to use with your leftover turkey if you wanted.)
Microwave the sweet potatoes using a potato setting. Let them cool slightly. Peel (or peel before microwaving it is easier) and mash them.
Add your egg, flour, and Parmesan cheese. Mix up your dumplings, then roll them out about an inch or less in a rope shape on a floured board.
Cut them into one-inch pieces. Perfection is not necessary. Flour a cookie sheet, because it makes quite a few. Boil water in a separate pot, and boil them 10-13 at a time for about 3-4 minutes (they’ll begin to float). Use a slotted spoon to lift out the floating dumplings, and set them into a bowl or dish.
This was my first time making them, and it was way easier than I thought!
Spoon your soup into a bowl. Add the sweet potato dumplings, and garnish with flat-leaf parsley.
I love a good baguette to serve with the soup. They love dunking bread into soup. Are you a dunker? Or do you prefer butter?
Either way, you’ll have your dinner served up quickly with this recipe. Because as soon as those dumplings are made your soup is ready. Delish!
