Instructions
Chicken Soup Base
In a slow cooker, layer the minced or chopped onion and garlic on the bottom. Add cubed chicken breast pieces, then top with vegetables: potato, carrot, celery, corn.
Add seasoning: chives, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, then add both the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours.
Dumplings Batter
Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt) in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients, until crumbly and about pea sized. Add milk and stir until a rough dough ball is formed.
Drop heaping tablespoon sized portions of the dough over the top of chicken soup in the crock pot after the 6 hours cooking time. Leave space between the dumplings for expansion.
Continue to cook the chicken and dumplings, covered, on low for 35-45 minutes or until the dumplings are no longer doughy.

Notes
*For a lighter soup, skip making the dumplings and simply add wild rice for the last 30 minutes!
