With the sun setting earlier and rain (or snow!) dragging temperatures down, chances are you're feeling a little low right now. That's where comfort food comes in. Squishy, soupy, salty, and savory, chicken and dumplings sit at the pinnacle of Southern comfort—if these recipes don't make you feel better, they'll at least cue a solid nap.

Chicken and Gnocchi Dumpling Soup Recipe

Homey and hearty chicken and dumplings has never been faster or easier, thanks to store-bought gnocchi. Browned bits from the seared chicken thighs create a rich base for the soup, while carrots and peas provide texture and fresh veggies to the soup. This kid-friendly soup is perfect for a weeknight dinner, and leftovers can be packed for lunch tomorrow.

Classic Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

One reviewer says, "This was very good. I only used half the dough and froze the other half for later. My husband loved it. This is a new favorite for us. I did add some chopped celery and carrots. I will probably use it to make chicken soup too.

Lemon Chicken Soup with Dumplings Recipe

Roasting the bones adds richer, deeper flavor to the stock. If you don't see chicken bones in your butcher's case, ask for them. Take your time when tempering the egg (used to add body to the soup) with the hot broth; the payoff is a smooth, silky texture. Make-ahead tip: Cook and chill the stock a day ahead; skim solidified fat from cold stock before heating and proceeding with recipe.
