Posted in response to a request for a soup popular in Kansas. The recipe was found in a Colorado paper, but by a Kansas chef. I have not made this, see notes below for additional comments. Prep time is estimated.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups cubed potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
43 ounces chicken stock or 43 ounces vegetable broth
2 cups green beans
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
24 ounces half-and-half or 24 ounces cream
dumplings
2 eggs
1 cup flour
milk

Steps:

  • In a large soup kettle, saute potatoes in oil for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Add stock and beans and cook until tender.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter or margarine and saute the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the flour and cook for three minutes longer. With a whisk, stir in the milk and keep whisking until the mixture is thickened. Set aside.
  • While the soup is simmering, prepare the dumplings. Blend the flour and the egg. Add milk until a thick, doughy mixture is made. You can add salt to taste. Drop the dumplings by a teaspoon into the boiling broth. Whisk the milk and flour mixture into the soup. Add milk or cream as needed to adjust the consistency.
  • Note: The measurements are rather inexact. My own thought is that you probably need 3 tbsp butter and 3 tbsp flour in the roux to make a thickener that would thicken this amount of liquid adequately. The forum poster found the soup too thin. The dumplings were described as tasty, but heavy, and you might want to substitute your own favorite recipe.

SOUTHERN GREEN BEAN DUMPLING SOUP



Southern Green Bean Dumpling Soup image

My son & daughter-in-law raved about this German soup but it just didn't sound like something I would like. One evening my little granddaughter asked my husband and I to stay for dinner and we accepted without knowing what was cooking. Needeless to say, we had our first taste of the infamous Greenbean Dumpling Soup ....and fell in love with it! I prefer my dumplings more like spaetzle than the regular biscuit type-dumplings. Also, either French-cut or regular green beans can be used. I do not use the roue - I thicken in the soup liquid. Be aware that it does make a lot, so adjustments for serving size may be needed.
