Gogol wrote laudatory odes to Ukrainian dumplings. A rich mushroom soup with Greeks was glorified in his Aeneid by Kotlyarevsky. In fairness, it should be noted that dumplings are present not only in the cuisine of the Slavs. In Hungary, they also prepare rich soups with pieces of dough - chipset. But only in Ukraine there are several types of dumplings: garlic, potato, buckwheat, corn and plain wheat flour. They are also eaten as a side dish, fried on cracklings and with garlic. But today we will learn how to cook soup with dumplings. Broths for him can be very different: chicken, beef, pork, mushroom. Consider a few recipes.

Chicken soup with buckwheat dumplings

Cook the usual broth from the soup set, two to three liters. Throw chopped 3 potatoes, carrots and the green part of the leek into the boiling liquid, cook for 10 minutes. Then you need to fry 300 g of chicken liver in oil and add to the soup. Now we are preparing the highlight of the dish - dumplings. In a separate bowlbeat two eggs with a pinch of s alt and 50 g of water. Continuing to stir vigorously, add an incomplete glass of buckwheat flour. We form rollers from the dough, roll them lightly in wheat flour and throw them into the boiling broth. After they rise, cook for another two minutes. Then turn off the fire and sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh herbs.

Mushroom soup with dumplings

Boil 3-4 potatoes in their skins. Soak a handful of dry porcini mushrooms in water for several hours. After that, we prepare a rich and fragrant yushka with the addition of 0.5 kg of fresh forest products, finely chopped onions and grated carrots. Dumplings will be potato: we clean the boiled tubers, grate them or chop them with a meat grinder, add an egg, 2 tablespoons of softened butter to the mass, s alt, pepper. Gradually add flour, as much as needed so that the dough does not stick to your hands. Throw the dumplings into the soup, stir with a wooden spoon and cook for 5-10 minutes.

Meat soup with dumplings with garlic

While the broth is cooking, knead the dough. Finely chop the garlic - two cloves, mix it in a bowl with chopped herbs (bunch) and 2 eggs, a pinch of s alt. Then gradually add flour (necessarily sifted) and knead the dough, as for dumplings. We leave it in a bowl under a towel, we return to the soup. Add 4 chopped potatoes to the broth, cook for 20 minutes. We clean the onion and carrot, chop, fry in vegetable oil until golden, put in the soup. Roll out the dough into a sausagecut dumplings. We throw them into a boiling liquid, cook until tender for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the finished soup with fresh chopped herbs.

As you can see, depending on what we add to the dough, its preparation also changes. Soup with dumplings can be made in a very quick way. Beat two eggs with a fork with a pinch of s alt and 50 g of water, add a little flour - so that you get a dough, like on pancakes. Your broth should boil, but not violently, otherwise the dumplings will “scatter” like in an explosion. When it gurgles quietly, scoop the dough into a spoon and carefully lower it into the broth. Cook for another ten minutes or so. Before serving, sprinkle the dish with herbs and cracklings.
