Cooking Time Out - Chipotle Chicken & Dumpling Soup

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 | Cooking | No Comments

Most Sundays, I typically find myself with lots of down time in the late afternoon. No one going out, nothing to do, until I am parusing the cooking section at Barnes & Noble, and find a book ALL ABOUT CHIPOTLE!! Wow, someone knew I was out there and this book was waiting for me. So I found a recipe and spent the remainder of the day collecting what I would need, and this is what i got:

Boiled up some Carrot, Celery, Onion, garlic, thyme, and 6 cups Chicken Broth.

I cup up a whole chicken, but only used the thighs and wings (mostly skinless) with the bone-in for the meat.

The star of the soup mix - McCormick’s Grill Mates “Cinnamon Chipotle Rub”…… omg, YUM!

Next I made little chipotle thyme dumplings to be used in the soup later.

Technically, you’re supposed to strain the vegetables and whatnot and just reserve the liquid, but look at how good those carrots and celery would be to EAT! So I just put it all back into the pot, minus the chicken.

Once I shredded the cooked chicken from the bone, I added it back to the soup / stock mix and brought it to a simmer. I then took my 16 little dumplings and placed them on top of the soup. covered and let steam / simmer for about 10 min.

So tasty! Like giant Matza balls or something, but spicy!
