- In a Dutch oven or heavy 5-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid, add 1 turn of EVOO, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
- Add onion, carrots and thyme.
- Cook⦠stirring until onion softens, about 5 minutes.
- Add ¾ cup flour; cook, while constantly stirring, 30 seconds.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring constantly; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Salt & pepper cut chicken and add to pot, reduce heat to medium-low.
- Add Tabasco, cover; cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet.
- Add milk and bring to a boil.
- Add ½ tsp salt to ½ cup + 2 Tbs flour and, whisk well. (The mixture will be pasty and sort of difficult to whisk, just mix it the best you can so the butter and flour are incorporated.)
- Remove from heat and let sit for 2 minutes.
- Add 2 eggs, 1 at a time â mix fast and hard.
- Once chicken has been cooking for 20 minutes, stir in peas.
- Raise heat to return to a simmer, drop dumpling batter into the soup by tablespoonfuls, (They grow while they cook, so be sure to space them out.)
- Reduce heat so soup maintains the lowest possible simmer.
- Cover and simmer for additional 20 minutes, until chicken is tender and dumplings are firm.
- I add red papper flakes when serving but I like it hot.
