03 Method

Step 1

Remove the skin and bones from the rotisserie chicken and discard. Shred the meat and set aside until ready to add to the soup.
Step 2

In a 6 or 8-quart stockpot heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until starting to soften, stirring occasionally, for 6 or 7 minutes.
Step 3

Add the salsa verde, ancho chile powder, salt and cayenne pepper and bring to a simmer. Stir in the shredded chicken and cook for a few minutes.
Step 4

Stir in the nacho cheese soup, white corn and chicken stock. Stir well and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
Step 5

For the dumplings: Add the milk and butter to a microwave-safe measuring cup and microwave for about 90 seconds, until butter melted.
Step 6

In a clean bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the warm butter and milk mixture to the flour and cornmeal mixture and stir with a spatula until a smooth dough is formed.
Step 7

Into the simmering soup, drop the dumplings by rounded scoops (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) so they are evenly floating on top of the soup.
Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the soup pot with a lid and allow the dumplings to steam for 25 minutes. No peeking! Serve the soup with sour cream and shredded cheese to top.
