- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Preparation
- Put the butter into the cooking pot of the Cuisinart® Multicooker and select Sauté/Brown. Set the temperature to Low and press Start.
- Once the unit has preheated and the butter has melted, add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots and stir to combine. Season with a pinch each of the salt and pepper and add the fresh thyme. Sauté until vegetables are softened and onions are translucent. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until evaporated, about an additional minute. Press Stop.
- Add the chicken, potatoes/yam, broth, parsley, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
- Secure the lid and select Soup. Set the pressure to High, the time for 20 minutes, and press Start.
- While the mixture is cooking, prepare the dumplings. Put the parsley in the bowl of a Cuisinart® Food Processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Pulse to chop. Add the thyme, flour, baking powder, and salt and process on Low (if available) until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. Combine the buttermilk and egg and then add to the dumpling mixture. Pulse a few times to combine. Turn dumpling dough onto a clean surface and gently bring together. Divide into 8 pieces. Reserve.
- When the tone sounds, press Stop. Press the Steam Release button to quickly release pressure. Carefully open the lid and stir in the pearl onions and peas. Select Reduce, set the temperature to High, and press Start. Once mixture comes to a strong simmer, add the dumplings. Close the lid, but do not turn to lock into place. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
