CHICKEN SOUP HACKS
ok ok, you don't want to do the whole chicken/homemade stock deal? Here are some short cuts
- use a really great quality bone broth or stock
- use rotisserie chicken meat
- cook thighs and breast in instant pot with some broth and add broth
PRO TIP: if you are using a store bought chicken stock/broth I HIGHLY RECOMMEND sautéing some garlic onion in olive oil in the pan before adding your other ingredients to add homemade flavor and depth!
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY DUMPLINGS ARE DONE? CAN I OVERCOOK DUMPLINGS?
Cooking your dumplings too long will result in tough, hard dumplings. So it is important to stop boiling after about 5 minutes. To ensure your dumplings are cooked through remove a dumpling from the soup, cut in half, if it is still like the dough in the middle it is not cooked through, if it is firm and not doughy it is done! you can also run a toothpick through and if it comes out clean its done
