Add Creamy Elements:
Stir in milk and cream of chicken soup. Simmer gently while you prepare dumplings.

Make Dumplings:
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in milk to form a dough.

Drop spoonfuls of dough into simmering soup. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
