Serve hot and enjoy!
For an even richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth instead of water.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as diced carrots, celery, or onions to the broth for added depth of flavor.
If you prefer thicker dumplings, use a homemade dumpling recipe instead of refrigerated biscuit dough.
A pinch of dried thyme or rosemary adds a lovely herbaceous note to the dish.
Be careful not to overcook the dumplings, as they can become tough.
