Dumplings Ingredients:

• 1 cup Simply Potatoes® Mashed Potatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose baking mix
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Soup Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup sliced carrots
• 2 stalks celery, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
• 1/2 cup chopped onions
• 3 cans (14 ounces each) chicken broth
• 2 cups chopped rotisserie or cooked chicken
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1. In medium bowl stir together all dumpling ingredients; mix well. Set aside.

2. Heat oil in Dutch oven or 12-inch skillet*. Add carrots, celery and onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Add chicken broth, chicken, bay leaf and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.

3. Reduce heat to low. Cook about 10 minutes or until vegetables are soft.

4. Bring soup back to a boil. Divide dumpling mixture into 12 large balls. Drop dumplings on top of soup in single layer. Cook, uncovered, over low heat for 10 minutes. Cover; cook 10 minutes until dumplings are no longer dough underneath.

Tips: *For best results use a dutch oven with at least 10-inches in diameter. This soup is a great recipe to use up your leftover rotisserie chicken.
