4. So we come to the most important thing in our recipe, namely the preparation of dumplings for soup from pre-prepared dough. Why do you need to moisten 2 teaspoons with cold water and take them in both hands. Scoop a little dough with one spoon, and with the other hand carefully separate it and dump it into a saucepan with a slightly boiling broth.
5. Similarly, form and dip the cooked dumplings into the soup. If there are too many of them, then leave them at your discretion. It should be borne in mind that during the cooking process, when the soup boils, the dumplings will slightly increase in size.
6. To determine whether the dumplings are ready, pay attention to how they look and behave: when the dumplings are done, they will turn matte, turn white, and float to the top of the broth. This will take about 5 minutes. While this is happening, it is necessary to cut the greens washed with cold water, sprinkle it with ready-made soup with dumplings, then cover with a lid and let cool slightly. Let the soup brew well, and you can serve it on the table.

After the soup is cooked, it is advisable to eat it on the same or the next day. Otherwise, the dough may swell too much or stick together, and therefore they will no longer be as tasty. If you don't have a large family, cook dumpling soup in small quantities. It is better to cook less, but more often. And next time, allow yourself to cook dumplings for soup using other cooking options. Let's take a look at them below.

Dumplings or dumplings are made from semolina. You can cook them to add to the soup, as well as a separate dish.

Semolina dumplings have a high nutritional value and are great for breakfast, as well as a side dish for the second course:

1. For 200 ml of milk or water, it is enough to take 200 g of semolina, a couple of tablespoons of butter, half a pinch of salt and a little sugar to your taste (of course, you can do without it).
2. Boil semolina porridge of a thick consistency, using milk or water, salt and add sugar during cooking.
3. Dip small pieces of dough into boiling soup or water, try to keep them the same size. This can be done by taking two teaspoons or tablespoons. It will also be convenient to use a special round-shaped spoon, which is often used for ice cream balls.
4. After about 6-7 minutes, after the dumplings are ready, you need to remove the pan with the dish from the heat and serve dinner to the table.

As already mentioned, it is necessary to make dumplings of small sizes for uniform cooking and so that they fall apart in water (milk).

For serving, I also use the method in which the dumplings are removed from the pan, folded into a colander until the liquid drains, and then transferred to a serving bowl with sauce (sour cream).

The potato dumplings in the first course are just as delicious as they are on their own. However, they are prepared not for potato soup, but for adding to soups with cereals, for example, soups with buckwheat or pearl barley, and in addition, they go well with various types of meat (pork, beef, lamb, etc.). potato dumplings with their own special taste:

1. To prepare dumplings for a medium pot of soup, you need to take about 250-300 g of raw potatoes, 1 chicken egg, 0.5 tbsp. small breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp. flour, salt and nutmeg.
2. Whole potatoes can be boiled, peeled or in their uniforms. Mash boiled potatoes in mashed potatoes, salt, season with nutmeg, beat in 1 egg and mix well.
3. Knead the dough from potatoes, gradually adding breadcrumbs and stirring. If the potato dough is not elastic enough, you can add a little flour.
4. Wet your hands and form the same small pieces of dough and dip them into the boiling soup, which is almost ready (you can also use two spoons for this). After a few minutes, after the dumplings rise to the surface, remove the pan from the heat.

Potato dumplings can be made by kneading chopped fried mushrooms into a dough. A more time-consuming option is to put the mushrooms into each dumpling, shaping it with wet hands, you can also put chopped greens mixed with nutmeg.

How to cook cheese dumplings for soup?

Cheese dumplings can be added to almost any soups, or just for broths - the dumplings taste very bright and rich, so they do without other ingredients:

1. Take a chicken egg, 50-60 g of hard cheese (for example, partisan) and 3 tbsp. flour, a pinch of salt and black pepper. When using already salted cheese, the amount of salt added should be reduced.
2. Lightly beat the egg with salt. Then add pepper and beat again.
3. Grate the cheese on a fine or medium grater and add to the beaten egg.
4. Mix the cheese mass and add flour, kneading the dough of a thick consistency.
5. The dough is quite sticky, put them in the soup carefully, well wetting your hands or spoons for shaping with cold water.

Cheese dumplings taste different from traditional ones in color and taste. The shade of dumplings can be further enhanced by adding a teaspoon of curry spices, as well as red ground pepper, to the resulting cheese dough.

Summing up, it should be noted that there are more recipes for dumplings for soup, for a wide variety of tastes.

Any of the most common dumplings or dumplings can be diversified using not wheat flour, but replacing it, for example, with corn, buckwheat or oatmeal. In addition, there are also chicken dumplings (from finely chopped minced chicken), garlic dumplings, cottage cheese dumplings - these recipes will transform ordinary and slightly bored first courses or broths. We wish you culinary success and excellent mood!
