Ingredients:  
For Dumplings
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp chives, chopped
½ cup buttermilk

Chicken soup
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 large celery stalk, chopped
½ tsp dry thyme
4 cups chicken broth
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup frozen peas
2 cups roasted chicken, shredded (any part of the chicken will do, both white and dark meat would be great for flavor)
Directions:
Directions:
In a large Dutch oven add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot and celery to the pot and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the onion sweats and becomes translucent.
Add thyme to the pot and the 4 cups of chicken broth. In a small bowl whisk the flour with a ladle of the broth from the pot then pour back into the pot and whisk making sure there are no lumps. Stir in the frozen peas and the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
While the broth is cooking, prepare the dumplings. In a bowl whisk together all the dumpling ingredients, making sure not to overmix, if you overmix the dumplings will turn out too dense.
Drop dumpling batter using a spoon into the thick broth. Make sure you don't take too much batter at once because the dumplings will double in size while they cook, so make them as big as you wish.
Cover the pot and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked. Make sure you don't peek while the dumplings are cooking, because they need to steam in order for them to cook and be nice and fluffy, lifting the lid will release the steam. After about 15 minutes use a toothpick to test if the dumplings are cooked through.
