Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 chopped sweet onion
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 43.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes, with liquid
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 11-ounce packet cheddar bay biscuit mix
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped sweet onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the pot, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
  3. Pour in 3 cups of chicken stock gradually while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Once boiling, add the 43.5 ounces of canned diced tomatoes along with their liquid, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 3/4 teaspoon of coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Stir well to combine and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. While the soup simmers, prepare the cheddar bay dumplings. In a separate bowl, combine the 11-ounce packet of cheddar bay biscuit mix with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter and about 2/3 cup of water, stirring until just combined.
  6. After the soup has simmered, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the simmering soup, spacing them apart. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Once cooked, remove the pot from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
