Dumplings are more likely to visit than tea. At least that’s what happens to my relatives. “Dumplings are the head of everything,” any bachelor will confirm. And many hostess will agree with him. For me personally.
dumpling - The wand. My kids don't like soup, it's especially hard to get them to do it in the summer. But the dish I'm going to tell you about today doesn't have time to cool down, it disappears from the plates of children.
Pilmen soup did not appear on my home menu immediately. For a long time I just cooked dumplings and served them to the table as an independent dish. But one day, returning from an astronomical festival in winter, my husband and I went to the station cafe, as the train was 5 hours away. They just wanted to stay warm and stay warm.
In general, I am skeptical about such institutions. Slightly shabby walls, loose chairs did not inspire confidence. But my husband was hungry and persistent. We sat at a table by the window. A pretty girl came, brought a black and white printed menu on a regular printer. Each leaf is in a separate file. My first meal caught my attention as it was closer to lunch. And after a morning walk in the mountains, I wanted something hearty and hot.
Borshchi, salts, mushroom soups... Then the eyes caught on the inscription “Soup with dumplings”. At first I thought they'd bring me soup and then offer me a second dumpling. I liked the idea, I ordered it. What was my surprise when the girl brought a deep soup with dumplings in it. I mean, dumplings were swimming right in the soup.
From the first spoon I fell in love with this dish. It was a full-fledged chicken warm broth with dumplings and greens in it. After long walks under the night sky, I was going to get sick. I was already making a list for the pharmacy. But dumplings and broth were my salvation. I managed to return from the winter holiday cheerful and healthy.
As you understand, to prepare such a delicacy, first you should get dumplings. You can buy a ready-made semi-finished product from a trusted supplier, or you can cook at home.
The ingredients
- dumplings
- chicken broth
- 2-3 potatoes
- 2 carrots
- greenery
- salt, pepper, spices
Preparation
- So, make chicken broth first. Add cube-cut potatoes, grated carrots, salti, peppery to taste.
- Separate the dumplings. Why not in the broth itself? It's simple, cooking frozen dumplings will make the broth cloudy. For the taste of nothing terrible, but the appetizing appearance of the dish will lose.
- When the dumplings are cooked, add them to the broth. I usually count portions so that everyone in the family gets 5-6 dumplings in a plate of soup. Now let 5 minutes to cook on a small fire all together. It's time to add some greens.
I'm sure you'll get a delicious dumpling soup the first time. Be sure to share whether this dish complements your family menu. Have a good day and a good appetite!
