What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Xavier Dumpling Soup! Everyone loves dumplings, those little flavorful puffs of dough soaked in chicken broth, surrounded by fresh vegetables. Xavier soup got its name in honor of the patron saint of missionaries and may be served on the feast day celebration in December. I like the soup so much I can’t wait all year before making it again. Taste it once and you’ll see what I mean.
XAVIER DUMPLING SOUP
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1/4 cup matchstick carrots
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
4 ounces evaporated milk
10.5-ounce can cream of chicken soup, concentrated
20 ounces chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tube buttermilk biscuits
2 tablespoons flour
Parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
In a Dutch oven, warm butter over medium-high heat. Do not scorch. Add diced onions, sliced celery, matchstick carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté until tender, 6-8 minutes. Add shredded chicken, evaporated milk, condensed cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Cut the biscuits into quarter pieces; lightly toss in flour. Add the biscuit chunks to the pot; Cook 8-9 minutes. Once the biscuits are cooked through, ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

In these times, we need all the help we can get, even if it is in the form of a roll of biscuits!

Speaking of that, I wanted to make the cinnamon rolls from the Pillsbury refrigerated dough…..and of course the store was out. So I bought the plain rolls and made my own with butter and cinnamon. When you get the craving…..well, you know. 😋🍃
