Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds chicken cooked and shredded (I use my Instant Pot, slow cooker, or grab a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store)
  • 2 large carrots diced
  • 3 stalk celery diced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon organic onion powder
  • Pink sea salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • 8 cups of chicken bone broth homemade or store-bought
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon xanthan gum depending on how thick you like your broth
  • 1 1/2 cups Wholesome Yum superfine blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup Wholesome Yum organic coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon pink sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, poultry seasoning, and onion powder to the pot and stir well. Cover the pot and continue to cook the veggies over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove lid and add bone broth, heavy cream, and whisk in the xanthan gum, bring the soup to a boil and then reduce heat. Simmer the soup for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, parsley, thyme, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt, and pepper. Mix together well.
  • Add in the large egg, butter, and heavy cream.
  • Mix until it becomes a rough dough-like mixture. Use your hands, or a small (1 tablespoon) cookie scooper, to form the dough into 16 firm dumplings.
  • Drop the dumplings into the simmering soup (making sure the soup is on low heat) and allow to cook for only 4 to 5 minutes or they will dissolve.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme and/or parsley and enjoy!
