Chicken dumpling soup question?!

Question: I'm making chicken and dumpling soup and right now just cooking the chicken up to put in it. I put carrots in it and celery just woundering if I can cook the carrots and celery with the chicken so they can get done faster. The chicken is close to being done. and normaly I wait till after I have the chicken done to do the veggies but I need to get this done sooner Thanks

Oh I always cook the veggies with the chicken so that way the stock is so much more flavorful!!!

You can saute the veggies in some olive oil until they are soft. Then add them to the soup.
