# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Base and Vegetables

01 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
02 - 1 small yellow onion, diced
03 - 1 cup sliced carrots
04 - 1 cup sliced celery

→ Aromatics and Seasonings

05 - 6 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
07 - 2 teaspoons dried sage leaves
08 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
09 - Kosher salt, to taste
10 - Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
11 - 2 bay leaves

→ Soup and Protein Components

12 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for tossing biscuits
13 - 4 cups chicken broth
14 - 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
15 - 2 cups heavy cream
16 - 1 cup frozen peas

→ Dumplings and Garnish

17 - 463 grams refrigerated biscuit dough (approximately 16.3 ounces)
18 - Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

# How to Prepare:

01 - Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper. Sauté, stirring frequently, for approximately 8 minutes until vegetables are softened.
02 - Cut each biscuit into 6 pieces using sharp kitchen shears. Toss biscuit pieces lightly in all-purpose flour, ensuring each piece is coated.
03 - Reduce heat to medium. Stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, dried sage, thyme leaves, additional salt, and pepper. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
04 - Sprinkle 3 tablespoons flour over vegetable mixture, stirring continuously until well incorporated. Cook for 1 minute.
05 - Pour in a small amount of chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any fond. Add remaining chicken broth, stirring to combine.
06 - Add shredded rotisserie chicken, heavy cream, frozen peas, and bay leaves to the pot. Gently stir to incorporate all ingredients.
07 - Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
08 - Arrange floured biscuit pieces on the surface of the simmering soup, distributing evenly. Do not submerge.
09 - Cover pot and reduce heat to low. Simmer gently for 15 minutes without lifting the lid. Dumplings are cooked when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10 - Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use sharp kitchen shears to cleanly cut biscuit dough into even pieces for consistent cooking.
02 - Ensure biscuit pieces are lightly coated in flour to prevent sticking during cooking.
03 - Maintain a tight-fitting lid during dumpling steaming; avoiding lifting the lid ensures proper rise and texture.
04 - Generous seasoning at multiple stages enhances the depth of flavor in the soup.
