My Homemade Chicken and Dumpling Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2/3 cup All-purpose Flour
• 1 whole Chicken, Cut Into Pieces 
• Salt And Pepper
• 1 cup Diced Carrots
• 1 cup Diced Celery
• 1 whole Large Onion, Diced
• 1 teaspoon Ground Thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
• 6 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
• 1/2 cup Apple Cider
• 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
• Bisquick Dumpling Mix

Salt and pepper the chicken then dredge in flour. Tap lightly to shake off excess flour.
Melt butter and oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. In two batches, brown chicken on both sides and remove to a clean plate.
In the same pot, add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Stir and cook for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-low heat. Stir in ground thyme and turmeric, then pour in apple cider to deglaze the pan. Add the chicken broth.  Stir to combine, then add browned chicken back to pot. Cover pot and simmer for 30-45 minutes.
While chicken is simmering, make the dough for the dumplings according to package directions.
Remove chicken from pot and set aside on a plate. Use two forks to remove chicken from the bone. Discard skin and bones. Shred, then add chicken to the pot. Pour heavy cream into the pot and stir to combine.
Drop tablespoons of dumpling dough into the simmering pot.  Cover pot halfway and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Check seasonings; add salt if needed. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving
