Instructions

Cut or shred the chicken into small pieces and slice the zucchini, leeks, and carrots. Set everything aside so it’s ready to add to the pot.
Melt the butter in a pot, then cook the onion and garlic until caramelized. Add the chicken and sauté until golden, then stir in the vegetables and broth, cover, and let it simmer.
Mix the xanthan gum with a bit of chicken stock, then stir it into the soup along with the heavy cream. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer until creamy.
Place the raw dumplings on top of the soup, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes until they are fluffy and cooked through.

Notes

For the chicken, you can use chicken thighs, cooked chicken, or rotisserie chicken.
To make cooking easier and quicker, prepare all the vegetables ahead, like chopping all the vegetables before cooking.
When simmering the soup with the dumplings, keep it at a gentle simmer to prevent them from breaking apart.
If the broth is too thin, add a bit more xanthan gum, but if it's too thick, thin it out with a little extra broth or water.
