My mother used to make dumpling soups and Russian dumpling kasha for us very often.

As I was making dumplings the other day, I decided to keep some in a freezer to make soup later. The soup turned out impressive and simple at the same time. It was almost like having chicken noodle soup, but with really delicious fresh dumplings.
I know soups can get old, so for that reason I wanted to share this recipe with you. It will give you a new option.
Note: For this recipe, you will need to make 1/2 batch of those dumplings . No toppings, just plain old dumplings 😉

I gotta try it! But I am surprised there is no finely chopped fresh dill.
Phil, so funny, I feel like my mom added dill to every soup. Now I am surprised too. Totally can be added. 🙂
Hmmmm interesting that you add zajarka before cooking the chicken and then wait to cook the chicken then dumplings and then add potatoes. Doesn't it get to mushy that way?
Either way I'm making dumpling soup right now already have my broth all cooked up just logging in to check your dumping recipe 🙂
I make it before in this case because I want for all the carrots and onion to be almost invisible but still to carry that flavor. But either way will work, I just changed things up for this recipe
This was the best dumpling soup that I've ever tried! Thanks for a great recipe again.
Omg! you have totally made my day!
Looks oh so so good....
Thank you Natalya! It's funny that we have the same name 🙂
