03 Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat and add the onion, celery, squash and garlic. Saute the vegetables until they start to soften, 4-5 minutes.
Step 2

Sprinkle the flour and stir to combine. Cook 1-2 minutes, then add the thyme, bay leaf and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer until the vegetables are cooked for about 10 minutes. Stir in the chicken, parsley, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3

To make the dumplings, whisk the flours, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir the buttermilk, egg, and parsley together in a second bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
Step 4

Using two spoons, drop balls of the dumpling dough into the simmering soup. Each dumpling should be about two teaspoons big- they will expand a lot in the soup. Cover the pot and cook until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through, 10-12 minutes.
Step 5

Garnish with chopped parsley and plenty of black pepper.
