Chicken Soup With Whole Wheat Dumplings image

Yummy winter soup! I have never made this with parsnips but I included it in the ingredients because the original recipe lists it. YOu could use vegetable stock and leave the chicken out for a vegetarian version. From Food and Wine.

Ingredients

8 cups chicken stock
3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast half
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons skim milk
1 large egg
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 large carrot, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 large parsnip, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 small butternut squash, peeled,seeded and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 large turnip, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 leek, white and tender green parts only,halved lengthwise and cut into 1 inch pieces

Steps:

In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a simmer.
Add the chicken breasts and simmer over moderate heat until just cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly, then pull into shreds.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the flours with the Parmesan, milk and egg.
Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch round tip.
(I use a ziploc bag with a corner cut out).
Add the carrot, parsnip, squash and turnip to the stock and season with salt and pepper.
Cover partially and cook over moderate heat until the vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes.
Add the leek and cook until tender.
Holding the pastry bag in 1 hand and a table knife in the other, cut 1-inch lengths of the dumpling dough into the simmering soup.
When all of the dough has been added, stir gently and cook until tender, about 2 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken, cook until heated through and serve.

Time 13m

Yield 8 medium dumplings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk (less egg volume)
1/4 cup parsley (optional)
1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons black pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped herbs (optional)

Steps:

Sift all dry ingredients together into a small bowl.
Break egg into measuring cup and add enough milk to total 1/2 C liquid. Whisk egg and milk together.
Make well in center of dry ingredients and pour in wet. Stir just to combine.
Drop by the spoonful into simmering soup or broth. Cover and steam for 10 minutes--do not peak.
If adding optional items, stir them into the dry ingredients before adding liquid.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, and tender meat will make all the difference in the taste of your soup dumplings.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
Roll out the dough thinly: The thinner the dough, the more delicate the soup dumplings will be.
Fill the dumplings generously: Don't be afraid to add a lot of filling to each dumpling. This will make them more flavorful.
Steam the dumplings carefully: Don't overcrowd the steamer basket, and make sure there is enough water in the bottom of the pot. The dumplings should be steamed until they are cooked through but still tender.
Serve the soup dumplings immediately: Soup dumplings are best when served hot and fresh. Drizzle them with your favorite sauce and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Whole wheat soup dumplings are a delicious and comforting dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion. With a little practice, you can make soup dumplings that are just as good as the ones you get at your favorite restaurant. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
