Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add chicken breasts, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and herbs to the pot. Pour in chicken broth and let simmer for about 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  3. Remove chicken, let cool, then shred. Return shredded chicken to pot along with frozen peas and carrots.
  4. Stir in heavy cream. Let soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Gradually stir in milk until a sticky dough forms.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the pot. Cover and cook for 10 minutes undisturbed.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with chives.
