To make the Dumplings:
Mix the flour, baking soda, salt, eggs, and 3/4 cup of the buttermilk in a bowl. If the dough doesn't look moist enough add the remaining buttermilk - the dough should be thick.

In a heavy Dutch oven melt butter and olive oil. Saute onions, carrots, celery until tender. Add garlic, bay leaves, and thyme. Add the flour and cook for a few minutes. Slowly add the chicken stock 1 cup at a time so there are no lumps. Stir well after each cup added. Add cream. Then add the shredded chicken. Bring to a simmer and add the dumplings by using to teaspoons to scoop and drop the dough into the soup. Do not crowed the pan. Put the lid on and simmer for 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and enjoy!
