Photo: Hungarian-ish Mini-Dumpling and Egg Noodle Soup Recipe
This soup is so light yet hearty it really is great in any season for any reason, but it is especially delish on cold, snowy days. Plus, it's made from many items you can keep on hand.
Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken stock (recommended: Kitchen Basics, 2 (1-quart) boxes
- 1 pound ground chicken or ground turkey breast (I keep an extra pack of both in the freezer; they are both so lean and easy to work with!)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, eyeball it
- 1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
- Handful parsley leaves, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 cups thin egg noodles
- 1/2 cup pequillo Spanish peppers or roasted red peppers, quartered lengthwise, very thinly sliced
- 6 scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces then shredded into thin sticks
- Handful fresh dill, finely chopped, about 3 tablespoons
Directions
Heat stock to a boil and reduce heat to simmer.
Mix the chicken with egg, bread crumbs, nutmeg, smoked sweet paprika, parsley, salt and pepper. Roll the meat into 1-inch dumplings and add to simmering stock. Wash up and let the dumplings cook 3 to 4 minutes alone. Add the egg noodles, peppers and scallions and stir. Cook another 4 to 5 minutes until noodles are just tender. Stir in dill. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

I also baked the meatballs on 400F for 20 minutes, meanwhile I made the broth and added pepper, carrots, celery and mushrooms that I sauted together at first. I let the broth simmer, added the meatballs and the scallions, cooked for about 5 minutes. Very yummy, however the meatballs need some more flavor, next time I will probably add some marjoram and garlic. I did not use dill at all.

I added more ingredients to the soup which made it really hearty. I sauteed the onion, celery, bell pepper, carrots, then add the broth and let it simmer for a while. In another pan, sauteed onion, and sweet ancient pepper in olive oil. Added the mixture, bread crumbs, 1 egg to ground turkey and baked in the oven at 400 for 20 minutes. I added the meatballs and gnocchi (instead of noodles to the soup and let that simmer for maybe an hour on a very low setting. delicious.
