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.”

Added 4 stalks of celery, used chicken bacon and add ham flavored soup base to the water. Really 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.

This similar to my recipe for potato dumpling soup, only I skip the bacon. I thin with milk or cream instead of water. And I slightly thin my dumpling mix a bit and pour them out of a cup with a spoon pushing into the boiling soup creating smaller dumplings that you eat with each bite. I also add carrots and celery finely cut for color. Garnish with parsly. My family loves it.

I LOVED this! The first time I made it I followed receipe to a T and it was fantastic!!! Definetly worth 5 stars. The second time I added a bit of spice to "heat" it up (sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the potatos). I have to add also...why do people change the receipe the first time they make it then give it a low rating? I could understand if you didn't like it as it was was but to change it then rate it low??? You didn't use the recipe...just saying.

Good, simple soup. Recipe is easy to follow. I added much more bacon to mine, and had to add some spices. Next time I may put some veggies in, and there will definitly be a next time that I make this soup, with my own variatons.
