In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Cook for 5–7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Pour in chicken broth, shredded chicken, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter and milk to form a soft dough.
Drop spoonfuls of dough into the simmering soup. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until dumplings are fluffy and firm.
Uncover and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
