  3. Gradually pour in 4 cups of chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps, then add 2 cans of diced tomatoes.

  5. Pour the soup into a blender and purée until silky before returning it to the pot.
  6. Prepare about 2 cups of batter using the biscuit mix and stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering soup, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix with the seasoning packet, brushing it over the cooked dumplings.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy while hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
