6. Serve & Enjoy: Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade biscuit mix? Yes! Just add cheddar, garlic powder, and herbs to a basic biscuit dough.

Do the biscuits get soggy on the bottom? Not if the filling is thickened properly—just don’t overfill with broth.
