Chicken soup with dumplings

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes, plus 30 minutes’ resting time

Cooking Time 2 hours

Ingredients

1 whole free-range chicken
4 cups water
2 sticks celery, chopped
4 carrots, chopped
2 onions, chopped
6 baby turnips
3 bay leaves
1 clove garlic
salt, to taste

For the dumplings:

240 g flour
4 t baking powder
1⁄2 t salt
1 cup milk

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place all the ingredients into a cast-iron pot with a lid. Simmer for 10 minutes.

2. Cover, place in the oven and cook for 2 hours. Season to taste, then remove from the oven.

3. To serve, spoon pieces of chicken into bowls with the stock and dumplings.

4. To make the dumplings, mix all the ingredients and rest for 30 minutes. Add spoonfuls to the broth in the last 10 minutes of cooking time.

Cook's note: If you like, shred the chicken and remove the bones. If you prefer crispy skin, cook the chicken in an air-fryer at 200°C for 10 minutes.
