This snappy recipe updates a classic and makes you glad you have leftovers. Serving with a tossed salad you have a complete meal.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (12 ounce) can cooked chicken
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 red onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
cooking spray
3 tablespoons italian seasoning (no salt blend)
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1 (8 count) can jumbo buttermilk biscuits, slightly flattened and quartered
cracked pepper (optional)

Directions

1
In large pot bring the chicken stock, soup, and cream to a boil.
2
Dice both peppers and onion. Using a mini chopper makes this a breeze. Spray a bowl with cooking spray, add peppers, onions and tomatoes, and cook to soften in the microwave. Approx 2 minutes.
3
Add softened veggies and cooked chicken to pot of boiling stock. Stir in spices.
4
Drop biscuit quarters into pot. Do not stir. Let things return to boil, cook 10 minutes uncovered. Reduce heat to simmer and cook additional 7 minutes or until biscuits are done.
5
Avoid lifting the lid during the final cook time and don't over stir. Stirring will tear apart the dumplings.
6
Enjoy!

5 Stars, comfort food that was quick and easy, made my Pennsylvania Dutch MIL feel right at home. DH urged me to include at least twice as much cooked chicken next time, but that was before we ate. As it was, we were all pleasantly full, thanks to the buttermilk biscuits. Although there was a lot of Italian seasoning, the net effect was good full flavor. I followed the directions precisely. I made this at home and carried in the stockpot to MIL's house 20 minutes away; it was still hot, and the biscuit topping did not suffer from the ride. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this dish; I normally steer clear from heavy cream combined with cream of whatever soup. This goes in my Frequent Repeat pile of Zaar recipes. Thanks for posting! Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag.

I used home-made chicken broth and a packet celery soup and then added my cooked chicken and vegetables; I also added peas and carrots as you suggested this soup would be great for leftovers! As I cannot get buttermilk biscuits in France - I made my own buttermilk dumplings.......as you can see from the photo, they worked perfectly and proves that this recipe is VERY versatile, no matter where you live in the world! My husband is not a great lover of too many herbs - so I cut back on the Italian seasoning to 1 tablspoon, we still got the Italian flavour but it was subtle. I also had to use creme fraiche, I had no cream available - and although the soup may not look as creamy as Andi of Longemeadow Farm's photo - it was quite creamy and EXTREMELY tasty! I hope that I have proved that a great idea for a recipe can be adapted to personal tastes and geographical areas - a lovely RSC recipe Crazy Granny - what a GOOD baby you have been! Made for PAC Spring 2008. Wonderful! FT

I'm always impressed when a recipe is quick to make and tastes good. This recipe is impressive! I never would have thought of using a can of buttermilk bisquits as dumplings. They worked great. Scared me a little when I saw how many spices were in the recipe but I went ahead and followed the recipe (except for the tomatoes). I didn't have any Italian Seasoning so I checked recipes on 'Zaar and found Italian Seasoning - I now have enough Italian Seasoning to make Chicken & Dumplings one more time soon. Thanks for posting. I made & reviewed this for PAC, Spring 2008

This was soooo good when it was so cold the other day! I only used 2 Tbsp of Italian seasoning and I also substituted a can of diced tomatoes for the cherry tomatoes since I didn't have any. It turned out great and was very quick to prepare. Thanks for posting this one Crazy Granny!
