About Soup with dumplings

Soup with dumplings is a savory dish often found in European, Asian, and American cuisines, with variations ranging from chicken soups in the U.S. to hearty pork and dumpling broths in Eastern Europe. Dumplings, made from flour, eggs, and sometimes fat or milk, are cooked in the liquid, absorbing flavors and offering a filling addition. This dish is typically nutrient-dense depending on its preparation, containing carbohydrates from dumplings, protein from meat or legumes, and vitamins such as B vitamins from whole grain dumplings or vegetables included in the soup base.

Health Benefits

• Provides energy through complex carbohydrates in dumplings made from whole grains.
• Supports immune health with vitamin C from vegetables often used in the soup like carrots or parsley.
• Contains protein from meat or legumes, aiding in muscle repair and metabolic processes.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten, eggs, milk (if added to dumplings), soy (if used in broth)

Suitable for: Omnivorous diets, vegetarian diets (if meat is omitted or replaced), gluten-free diets (if dumplings are made from gluten-free flour)

Not suitable for: Vegan diets (unless dumplings and broth are adjusted), low-carb diets (due to dumpling composition)

Selection and Storage

Store soup with dumplings in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid breaking the dumplings.

Common Questions About Soup with dumplings Nutrition

Is soup with dumplings high in protein?

Soup with dumplings typically contains a moderate amount of protein, depending on the ingredients. For example, a chicken-based broth with meat-filled dumplings can provide 10-15 grams of protein per cup. However, if the dumplings are only made from flour and water, the protein content will be minimal, around 2-5 grams per serving.

Can I eat soup with dumplings on a low-carb or keto diet?

Traditional soup with dumplings is not suitable for a keto or low-carb diet because dumplings are typically made with flour, which is high in carbohydrates. A single serving of soup with dumplings can contain 20-30 grams of carbs or more. For a keto-friendly version, you can substitute the dumplings with low-carb alternatives like almond flour-based or cauliflower-based dumplings.

What are the health benefits or concerns of eating soup with dumplings?

Soup with dumplings can be a comforting and hydrating meal that provides essential nutrients, especially if made with a nutritious broth containing vegetables and protein sources like chicken. However, concerns include high sodium content in store-bought versions and high calorie and carbohydrate content from traditional flour-based dumplings. Choosing a homemade version allows for control over ingredients and nutritional content.

What is a recommended serving size for soup with dumplings?

A standard serving of soup with dumplings is typically 1 to 1.5 cups, which provides about 200-350 calories, depending on the recipe. This can vary significantly based on dumpling size, filling ingredients, and broth preparation. For a balanced meal, pair it with a side of vegetables or a protein-rich food if the soup lacks adequate protein.

How does soup with dumplings compare to other soups?

Soup with dumplings is often more calorie-dense than clear soups like chicken noodle or miso soup due to the inclusion of flour-based dumplings. It also tends to be more filling because of the hearty texture of the dumplings. Compared to cream-based soups like clam chowder, soup with dumplings may have fewer calories and fat, depending on the preparation.
