Do you have a recipe for drop soup dumplings?

Drop Dumplings (for Soup)





Ingredients:


2 cups all-purpose flour


1 cup milk


1 egg


1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese


1 teaspoon rosemary





Mix together first three ingredients being sure to get all flour evenly incorporated into mix.


Crush the rosemary leaves in the palm of your hand to break them up and release the oils and add to the mix along with the cheese.


While mixing the dumplings; bring your soup or broth to a slow soft boil.


Take two kitchen tablespoons and use them to drop tablespoons of dumpling mix into your broth by spooning up mix then using other spoon to roll it into the soup.


Do not over crowd your soup with raw dumplings or they will stick together.


Move around the pot as you drop to allow the dumpling to start to set before another raw one is dropped next to it.


Cook at a slow boil for about 15 minutes to allow the dumplings to cook through and absorb some of the chicken flavoring from the broth.


NOTE: You can change the cheese flavor with another hard cheese and use other types of herbs to create your own blend of flavors.Do you have a recipe for drop soup dumplings?
I don't use a recipe, but have made them for years:


Plain flour- Use about 1 cup for each person served. Add stock from cooking your chicken to make a stiff dough. When cool, roll out thin on a floured surface. Cut into thin strips, then cut the strips into bitesize squares.


In the meantime, bring your soup stock to a boil. Drop the dumplings one at a time into boiling liquid. When they rise to the top they are done. Then add your chicken. If you are making chicken and dumplings, they are better the next day and the dumplings will absorb quite a bit of liquid, so make sure you have a lot of broth in the pot.


Tip: If you are adding vegs to your soup, cook them ahead with the chicken in the pot, then remove them temporarily while adding the chicken. Then return them to the soup.
