But whatever you do…ĭon't skip the biscuits! The dumplings cook perfectly in the soup when you remove the cooked chicken, turn the slow cooker to high and add them at the end. They love the taste of the soup, but especially for my cooked-vegetable-hating 12-year-old, they enjoy it that much more when it's pureed.īut if you don't have an immersion blender and simply don't want to complicate an otherwise perfectly and deliciously trouble-free dinner by blending hot liquid in a regular blender, skip that step. I like to puree the soup after it's finished cooking as not all of the members of my family enjoy staring directly at their vegetables while they eat them. *Update: I added that Gluten Free Slow Cooker Recipe category! What in the world was I waiting for?! And (bonus!) it makes perfect use once again of those gluten free biscuits from GFOAS Bakes Bread (or from the blog!) that I always have chilling in my kitchen. Well, judging from how many times I've made this for my family (nearly a dozen over as many weeks), you can surely guess that it works perfectly in the slow cooker.

Personally, I like to use Better than Bullion to make broth for all of my cooking. Chicken broth can come from the can, carton, bouillon cube, or homemade from scratch.I know the package says to press firmly with a spoon, but once you start whopping them it just makes sense (plus it’s fun!). We always affectionately called these “whop biscuits” because you whop them on the side of the counter after you take the wrapper off. Use refrigerated biscuits in the can for dumplings, not frozen biscuits.Frozen diced carrots are a time-saver and you can even use frozen diced onions to cut down on prep time even more.I’m leaving cream of mushroom soup in the recipe but, of course, feel free to use cream of chicken instead as is traditional.
