Chicken soup with dumplings in chicken broth

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make dumpling soup with chicken broth? Prepare your food. For the broth, use any parts of the chicken except the breast, it is too lean and the soup from it will not be tasty.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the chicken parts well under cold water and remove excess fat. Cover the chicken with cold, clean water. Take filtered or bottled water; the taste of the future broth depends on the taste of the water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, skim off the foam with a slotted spoon. Then turn the heat to minimum. It is better to cook the broth at a very low boil so that it remains transparent. Cover the pan with a lid and leave the broth to simmer for an hour. At the end of cooking, add salt, peppercorns and bay leaf.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the broth is simmering, prepare the dumpling dough. Take the products from the list.

5. STEP 5

   

   Break the egg into a small bowl, add salt and pepper and stir. Start by adding two tablespoons of flour. Stir. Add vegetable oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour a few tablespoons of hot broth from the pan. Pour the broth into the dough while stirring constantly. The hot broth will cook the flour a little and the dumplings will be fluffier and tastier. The dough will become quite liquid. Adding flour, bring it to the desired consistency - the dough should become thicker than for pancakes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut well washed and peeled potatoes into small pieces.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cut the peeled onion into cubes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Grate the washed and peeled carrots on a coarse grater. You can also cut it into strips, circles, and cubes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Wash the parsley well, dry and chop.

11. STEP 11

    

    Make a stir-fry for the soup. Pour some oil into a heated frying pan. Lay out the vegetables. Fry them for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until soft.

12. STEP 12

    

    Meanwhile, the broth is already ready. Remove the chicken from it. It can be used at your discretion - either in another dish, or put back into the soup, after first separating the meat from the bones. Add potatoes to the broth. Cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes after boiling.

13. STEP 13

    

    When the potatoes are ready, add the roast to the soup.

14. STEP 14

    

    Wait for the soup to boil and start forming the dumplings. Let the soup simmer actively, it is better to turn up the heat so that the dumplings brew faster. Use one teaspoon to scoop up the dough and use the other to gently push it into the pan. The dumplings will first sink to the bottom and then float to the surface.

15. STEP 15

    

    As soon as the dumplings float to the surface, they are ready. Add chopped parsley to the soup and wait until it boils. Turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and let the soup sit for 10-15 minutes.

This soup diversifies the daily menu. I know a similar recipe. Dumplings are prepared a little differently.

An excellent option for light chicken soup with dumplings in chicken broth. I cooked the broth in chicken breast, it cooks quickly, this is a definite plus) The dough for the dumplings is unusual, I liked it. The dumplings turned out delicious! My children like this soup primarily because of the pieces of dough. The soup is both light and satisfying. I also formed the dumplings using two teaspoons, at first I made small ones, and in the end they began to turn out larger. During the cooking process, the dumplings increased in size, but we even liked it. A very tasty and tender soup for lunch for the whole family.

Today I decided to make this unreal, but at the same time easy-to-prepare soup with dumplings. My family loves such soups and this soup suited them better than others, and the dumplings are simply divine, soft and airy! And the broth is really clear over low heat! I think the soup was a success! What do you think?)) I definitely recommend this soup for cooking and wish everyone a bon appetit!)))

The soup turned out incredibly tender and rich. When cooking the broth, I added some chopped chicken breast to make the soup less greasy. I added a pinch of spices myself about 10 minutes before the end of cooking the chicken. Then I added bay leaf, allspice (it reveals the taste better) and salt. I cut the potatoes into small cubes so that when cooking them, the chopped breast would not have time to boil. My first (and only) failure was when adding the dumplings. Maybe there’s something wrong with my hands (they grow 50 cm below normal), maybe I was wrong with the proportions, but instead of neat dumplings I ended up with a kindergarten spider’s web. However, this did not affect the taste in any way. The aroma, according to the neighbor, was right up the staircase. I'm definitely saving this recipe!

I then cut them with a knife directly in the pan into smaller pieces. Although the dumplings are big and delicious)
