A real feel-good dish for those cold and wet winter days

Serves: 6
Total Time: 25
Prep Time: 20

Heat ½ tbsp of oil in a large pan and gently fry the onion, carrots and celery for 10 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic; cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Add the chicken and leek, bring back to the boil and simmer for 6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are just tender.
Meanwhile, put the flour in a bowl. Stir in the baking powder, some of the parsley and lots of seasoning. Add the remaining oil and the milk, and stir together until just combined to make a rough, slightly sticky dough. Drop some small teaspoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the simmering stock and leave to cook for about 4 minutes. (The dumplings will swell, so don’t make them too big.) Check the seasoning.
Ladle the soup and dumplings into warmed soup bowls, garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
