1. Sauté onions, celery, and carrots.
2. Add garlic, cook for 30 seconds.
3. Pour in broth, add seasonings and chicken.
4. Mix Bisquick, milk, parsley, and pepper in a bowl to form dumpling dough.
5. Drop spoonfuls of dough into the simmering broth.

Notes

Add frozen peas or corn for extra color and nutrition.

For extra richness, add a splash of cream or a pat of butter before serving.
