• For the chicken: Set a 6-quart Instant Pot to sauté on high. Add the olive oil and butter and let the butter melt, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn. Add the carrots, celery, onion, 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the flour, thyme and turmeric until the vegetables are well coated.
• Add the chicken, the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and stir until coated. Stir the chicken broth into the Instant Pot. Press cancel to turn off the pot. Carefully scoop about 12 mounds of dumpling batter (2 tablespoons each) into the pot, spacing them evenly. Lock the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position. Set to pressure-cook on high for 3 minutes.
• When the time is up, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position and let the steam release. Unlock and remove the lid, being careful of any remaining steam. Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls.

• Start by putting the chicken in a pot and covering it with water. Bring the water to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 45 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot. Set the chicken aside to cool briefly.
• Shred the chicken with 2 forks, reserving the bones. Return the bones to the pot and boil for 20 minutes. Remove the bones from the pot and discard.
• Add the shredded chicken, carrots, celery and onions to the pot. Then add the salt, pepper, thyme and turmeric. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the noodles; no need to thaw them first!
• Finally, mix the flour with 1/2 cup water until smooth. Stir the flour mixture, the splash of half and half (if you're into that kind of thing) and the minced parsley into the pot. Simmer until the noodles are tender, about 15 minutes, tasting and adding more salt if needed at the end. The soup should be thick and stew-like and your kitchen should smell like home.
