Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg (for dumplings)
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup egg noodles (dried)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil or butter
Instructions
Heat the cooking oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they soften slightly.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the chicken stock, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
While the soup is coming to a simmer, make the dumpling batter. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, egg, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth and thick.
Once the soup is simmering, use two spoons to drop small dollops of the dumpling batter into the soup. They will puff up as they cook.
Cook the dumplings in the simmering soup for about 10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are cooked through and tender.
Add the dried egg noodles to the soup and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
