Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook chicken and dumpling soup like in kindergarten? Prepare the indicated products. Chicken broth soup, for this I use chicken thighs, you can also use other parts of the chicken, the main thing is that they have meat on them. Vegetables are medium in size; you will need a little vegetable oil to sauté them. To prepare the soup, you can take your favorite dry spices and herbs.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse chicken thighs with cold water, place in a saucepan and fill with cold water (2.5 - 3 liters). Place the pan over high heat, wait until the broth boils and reduce the heat to less than medium. Remove the resulting foam, close the pan with a lid. Read below for how to choose a pan. When the meat is cooked, remove it from the broth into a separate bowl. If desired, the broth can be strained through a sieve to make it more transparent.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into cubes (or as desired). Add the potatoes to the pan, increase the heat slightly and bring the soup to a boil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel and wash the carrots and onions. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the onions and carrots for a few minutes. Add the fried vegetables to the soup and continue to cook it, covered, over medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a deep bowl, mix a broken raw egg with salt. Add flour and broth from the soup being prepared. Mix the mixture thoroughly. It turns out a little thicker than on pancakes. You may need a little less or more flour, check the consistency. Read about the properties of flour in the article at the end of the recipe.

6. STEP 6

   

   Take two spoons (the size of the dumplings will depend on the size of the spoons) and soak them in water. Take the finished dough with a spoon in small portions, using another spoon, remove it directly into the hot broth. Do this with all the dough. Stir the soup carefully so that the dumplings do not stick together. Add salt and ground black pepper to the soup.

7. STEP 7

   

   After a few minutes, when the dumplings float to the surface of the soup, add chopped pure dill to it, stir and turn off the heat.

8. STEP 8

   

   Let the finished soup sit for about ten minutes before serving. Serve the soup hot, adding meat from the broth, soup and fresh herbs (if desired) to each serving plate.

For lunch I made chicken and dumpling soup just like in kindergarten. This is a wonderful recipe. How fast and simple everything is. Just half an hour and a hearty first course for the whole family is ready. For the broth I chose chicken fillet, cut it into pieces and boiled for 15 minutes. From the spices I added salt, pepper and bay leaf. In the meantime, I peeled the vegetables, cut the potatoes into cubes and immediately put them in the pan with the chicken. I also fried it for soup and added it to the pot. While everything was cooking, I kneaded the dough for dumplings with the addition of homemade egg and broth, it came out medium thick. Using two spoons, I dropped pieces of dough into the pan. The dumplings quickly floated to the surface, turned off the stove and let the soup sit for another 10 minutes. Before serving, I sprinkled the soup with dill on the dumplings. Lunch was excellent, everyone ate with great pleasure. The color of the soup is rich, the broth is aromatic, the dumplings are soft, the dish is filling and very tasty. Wonderful recipe! Thank you!

For our family, soup is an integral part of lunch. Today I made chicken soup with dumplings. I cooked with the second broth, because... The thighs turned out to be very fatty, and the broth turned out more transparent. I decided to cook the onion whole, and at the end of cooking I took it out of the soup. The dumplings according to this recipe turned out tender and tasty. Very appetizing, bright soup. The kids loved it!
