Dumpling Soup

Recipe View 5 mins In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and baking powder. Set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View 7 mins In a measuring cup, crack the egg and add enough water to reach the 1-cup mark. Whisk with a fork. Gradually mix the egg-water mixture and oil into the flour mixture, using the fork until a soft dough forms. (Mixing time: 5-7 minutes)

Recipe View 4 mins Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and no longer sticky, adding more flour or water as needed. Cover the dough with the bowl and let it rest while you prepare the potatoes. (Kneading time: 3-5 minutes)

Recipe View 13 mins Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot with 8 cups of water and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. (Cooking time: 10-15 minutes)

Recipe View 9 mins While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden and the bacon is cooked through and slightly crispy. Set aside. (Cooking time: 8-10 minutes)

Recipe View 13 mins Once the potatoes are cooked, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Pinch off small pieces of dough – about 1/2 inch in size – and gently drop them into the simmering potato water. Lightly flouring your fingertips will help prevent the dough from sticking. (Dumpling addition time: 10-15 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins After all the dumplings have been added, gently stir in the cooked onion and bacon mixture. (Mixing time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View 1 mins Ladle a small amount of the hot soup water into the skillet used for the bacon and onion. Swirl it around to deglaze the pan, loosening any flavorful browned bits and juices. Pour this back into the soup pot. (Deglazing time: 1 minute)

Recipe View 5 mins Turn off the heat and let the soup stand for a few minutes before serving to allow the dumplings to fully cook and the flavors to meld. (Resting time: 5 minutes)
