Ingredients
Scale
Dumplings
- 1 6 oz tube Pillsbury Flaky Layers Butter Tasting Biscuits (5 biscuits)
- 3–4 oz Cheese of Choice, cut into small 0.5 inch cubes (Caramelized Onion Cheddar recommended)
Soup
- 1 quart Store Bought Tomato Soup
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the biscuit layers: Divide each biscuit in half by splitting the flaky layers. Then further divide each half into two quarters to create four thin biscuit pieces per biscuit. Repeat for all five biscuits.
- Form cheese dumplings: Place a small piece of cheese onto each thin biscuit piece. Pinch the dough edges firmly to seal the cheese inside and set them aside.
- Heat the tomato soup: Pour the store-bought tomato soup into a pot and heat over high heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Cook the dumplings in soup: When the soup reaches a gentle boil, carefully add the cheese dumplings one at a time. Once they begin to float, cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes to cook the dough fully and melt the cheese inside.
- Season and serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper as desired. Serve warm with the cheesy dumplings nestled in the soup.
Notes
- Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar or mozzarella, for best results.
- Ensure dumplings are sealed tightly to avoid cheese leaking into the soup.
- Stir the soup often before adding dumplings to prevent burning on the bottom of the pot.
- Adjust simmer time slightly if your biscuit dough is thicker or thinner than usual.
- For a quicker version, pre-cut biscuits can be used but layering provides better texture.
