Ingredients:

For the Chicken Stock:

1 whole roasting chicken

1 small diced yellow onion

3 large diced carrots

4 large diced stalks of celery stalks

2 cloves of garlic

1 small bunch each of fresh thyme and parsley

For the Soup:

4 ounces of unsalted butter

1 peeled and small diced yellow onion

6-7 celery stalks small dice

4-5 medium-sized carrots small dice

2 finely minced garlic cloves

4 ounces of Bob’s Red Mill Organic All-Purpose Flour

2 cups of sweet peas

2 cups of hominy

For the Dumplings:

4 cups of Bob’s Red Mill Organic All-Purpose Flour

3 tablespoons baking powder

2 cups of milk

¼ cups chopped fresh parsley

½ cup chopped fresh scallions

Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions:

1. Chicken Stock: In a large pot place in all ingredients under “chicken stock” and poach the chicken on medium-high heat until it is completely cooked through about 1 hour. Once cooked, strain the liquid and remove the chicken meat from the carcass and roughly chop to bite-size pieces.

2. Soup: In a large pot or rondeaux on medium heat add in the butter and sweat the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic for 5 to 6 minutes.

3. Next, add the flour and stir to make a roux.

4. Add in the chopped chicken and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Note, there will be ½ gallon of stock leftover.

5. Once the soup is boiling and thicker, turn the heat to low and add the peas, hominy, and cook for 20 minutes.

6. Dumplings: In a large bowl add together all dumpling ingredients until combined. Drop 1 tablespoon portions of the dough from a spoon into the soup and simmer for 5 minutes on each side until cooked through.

7. Serve with optional garnishes: chopped green onions, parsley, thyme, and parmesan cheese.
