Chicken soup with dumplings

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook soup with dumplings in chicken broth? Prepare your food. For broth, choose chicken meat on the bones - it will make the soup more rich and tasty. I took the chicken thigh. The amount of flour and water is approximate, you will look directly at the dough. Wash and peel the vegetables.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the chicken meat in a saucepan, fill it with clean cold water and cook over medium heat. I first removed the skin from it. The article on saucepans, link at the end of the recipe, will help you choose the perfect saucepan. While the broth is simmering, prepare the vegetables. Cut the onion into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the potatoes into large cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Meanwhile, the water in the pan with the chicken will boil. Remove the foam from its surface, reduce the heat, and cover the pan with a lid. Leave the broth to simmer at a low simmer for 30 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   At this time, put a frying pan on low heat, pour in vegetable oil and put a piece of butter - vegetable oil will not allow the butter to burn, so they are used together. Place onion in hot oil. Fry it for several minutes, stirring, until transparent. Then add carrots to the onions. Fry the vegetables together for another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. For information on how to choose a frying pan and oil, read the articles linked at the end of the recipe.

7. STEP 7

   

   After the required half hour, remove the chicken from the broth and add the potatoes and frying. Separate the chicken meat from the bones and cut into pieces. Add it after the vegetables. Salt the soup to taste, add peppercorns and bay leaves. Cook the soup for another 20 minutes at a low simmer.

8. STEP 8

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings. To do this, beat an egg into the flour, add salt and turmeric (it will give the dumplings a beautiful yellow color). Mix everything with a hand whisk or fork.

9. STEP 9

   

   Start adding water little by little while stirring the dough. When it becomes like thick sour cream, stop and stir well until smooth. Leave the dough to rest for 15 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    At the end of cooking, add dumplings to the soup. This can be done with a spoon or a special “grater” for dumplings. I add it with a teaspoon. Scoop out some dough and drop it into the simmering soup. Using the first dumpling, check the thickness of the dough, add water or flour to it if necessary. Throw all the dough into the soup in this way. Then cook it at a low boil for a couple of minutes and turn off the heat.

11. STEP 11

    

    Serve the soup to the table; you can sprinkle chopped fresh herbs on top. I love eating this soup with sour cream. Bon appetit!

I needed to quickly prepare the first dish, and I came across a recipe for chicken soup with dumplings. True, I cooked the soup in pork broth, so it turned out a little richer, and I added one tomato to the soup. I used durum wheat flour and a home-made egg for the dumplings, so they turned out beautiful, yellow and didn’t overcook. The soup was very tasty and filling.

I love easy to prepare dishes. Therefore, chicken soup with dumplings is a good choice for me! I made the broth from the breast and drumstick of farm chicken. The broth turned out rich and beautiful (you must agree, this is important). I followed the recipe exactly. For the first time I added turmeric to the dough. Indeed, the dumplings looked very appetizing. And the seasoning added some spice and zest. So, housewives, take the recipe and pamper your household! Mine were satisfied.
