Ingredients

  • 2 cans chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • pinch of sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken (or turkey) breast
  • 1 package low carb Bread Machine Mix
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
  • additional water

Directions

  1. Add first 12 ingredients to large soup pot and allow to boil until onions, carrots and celery are semi-soft. Add diced chicken or turkey and boil an additional 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in small bowl mix beaten egg with heavy cream and 1/4 cup of the additional water. In a large bowl, empty bread machine mix and add egg/cream mixture and stir. Continue adding water a little at a time until you have a stiff but moist dough.

  3. Drop by 2-Tablespoon size “dumplings” into bubbling broth, keeping dough balls separate in the broth until each rises and “forms.” Once all dough is into broth, cook an additional 5 minutes and serve in big bowls.
