Ingredients:

1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup water (or 3/4 cup if you prefer a soupy consistency)
Refrigerated biscuit dough (1 can)
Optional: Salt, pepper, and herbs for seasoning

Instructions:

Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and tear each biscuit into 3 or 4 pieces.
Roll into Balls:
- Take each torn piece and roll it into a ball between your hands. This will form the dumplings.
Prepare the Soup Base:

Add Dumplings:
- Bring the soup base to medium heat. Once it starts simmering, drop the rolled biscuit dumplings into the pot.
Cook Dumplings:
- Allow the dumplings to cook in the simmering soup for about 12-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Season to Taste:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs to enhance the flavor.
Serve:
- Once the dumplings are cooked through and the soup has thickened, remove the pot from heat.
Optional Garnish:
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a burst of freshness.
Serve Warm:
- Ladle the dumplings and soup into bowls and serve immediately.

Optional Additions:

Feel free to customize by adding cooked chicken, vegetables, or herbs to the soup for extra flavor and nutrition.

Note:

Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer during the cooking process.
