Creamy Chicken of the Woods Soup with Dumplings and Herbs

Video Description

https://foragerchef.com/chicken-of-the-woods-soup/ A simple recipe for chicken of the woods soup a la classic chicken and dumplings. It's a basic creamy soup flavored with fresh herbs and lemon-two things that chicken of the woods love. You can use plenty of other mushrooms here though. Chanterelles would work well too. I take a few shortcuts here that you might find helpful for soups in general: using kneaded roux or buerre manie to thicken it, and using pre-cooked homemade (or store-bought) gnocchi instead of making dumplings from scratch. Making gnocchi in batches and freezing them is an old restaurant trick I still use all the time. Make sure to bring your gnocchi to room temp before cooking the from frozen.
