Dumpling Soup

“A simple soup made with potatoes, bacon and onion with home made dumplings. My mom always made this soup on washday as it was quick to make and very satisfying. It's still a favorite today for lunch. Pepper may be added at the table. Serve with fresh bread and butter. This is a very hearty soup, if served as supper, it is a complete meal.”

This soup was delicious and very filling. I did make some changes though. I added diced celery and chicken bouillon to make it more flavorful. The only difficulty I had was with the dumplings.....They stuck to everything. Next time I think I will just add more flour. It'a a delicious, easy-to-make soup!!

This was great! Can be a base for a more complex soup or leave as is for a inexpensive very filling meal that make A LOT! I used chicken stock and added chiken and my hubby and I enjoyed! Thanks for a great recipe!

I thought this soup was very good and simple. I had all the ingredients on hand which was nice. My dumplings turned out really hard, but it seemed I had to add alot more flour to make them less sticky. Didn't use all the dumpling dough either. Developed great flavor. I also added 2 chicken bouillion cubes. Very good!

The base recipe was pretty good. I didn't like how watery the broth was so I added 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and a half of a stick of butter. And I added a 3oz jar of real bacon bits instead of cooking bacon (being lazy). The result was creamy and delicious! I will make this again.

I agree with Texanchef, it's better if the dumpling dough is sticky. It makes the dumplings lighter and moister, kind of like a spaetzle. This soup reminds me of the German potato dumpling soup my grandma used to make. The key to a really good soup is salt and pepper. If you have fresh cracked pepper it's even better. I made this for Christmas Eve. I put some cheddar cheese and green onions out for garnish. My family really raved about it. I will definitely make it again.

I liked that the dumplings were more an old fashioned style, denser than say a Bisquick variety. I will use that recipe again, thank you. The soup though was as some others said, bland and heavy. If you like old timey simple blander recipes, this may be for you. For us though, I will find a better soup recipe with more flavor and use this dumpling recipe in it.

I was pretty impressed on this soup. It just sounded good when i read it. I followed to the T except added a can of cream corn. WOW. Great flavor and a nice warm comfort food.
