     Title: Quick Chicken & Dumplings
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Herbs, Dairy
     Yield: 5 Servings

     3 tb Unsalted butter
     2 md Carrots; peeled, chopped in
          - 1/2" pieces (about 1 cup)
          +=OR=+
     8 oz Butternut squash; peeled,
          - chopped in 1/2" pieces
          - (about 1 cup)
     1 md Leek; trimmed, white & pale
          - green halved lengthwise,
          - thin sliced (about 1 cup)
     2 md Celery ribs, peeled, sliced
          - 1/2" thick (about 2/3 cup)
     3 cl Garlic; fine chopped
     1 tb Fine chopped fresh rosemary
     2 ts Fresh thyme leaves
     1 ts Poultry seasoning (opt)
          Salt & black pepper
     3 tb All-purpose flour
     5 c  Chicken stock
     1 c  Heavy cream
    16 oz Package fresh or shelf
          - stable purchased gnocchi
   1/2 sm (3 lb) rotisserie chicken;
          - skin & bones reserved for
          - other uses, meat torn in
          - bite-size pieces (about 2
          - cups shredded meat)
          Fresh tarragon, parsley or
          - dill, for garnish

 In a large pot, melt the butter over medium. Add the
 carrots, leek, celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme and
 poultry seasoning, if using. Season generously with salt
 and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until
 vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

 Sprinkle with the flour, then cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
 (This cooks the flour to soften its raw flavor.)
 Gradually stir in the stock and cream, and bring to a
 boil over high heat.

 Once the mixture boils, stir in the gnocchi, reduce the
 heat to medium and cook until gnocchi and vegetables are
 tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken in the last
 couple of minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
 Divide among bowls and top with fresh tarragon and more
 black pepper, if desired.
