Dumpling and Potato Soup
Dumpling and Potato Soup is a real lifesaver for busy housewives. This dish is perfect for a dacha menu when you need to feed the family deliciously and filling.
To make the dumpling and potato soup thicker and richer, buckwheat groats are used in the recipe. Rice or millet grits can also be used. You can also make a quick dumpling soup without grains, slightly increasing the amount of potatoes.
Homemade Dumplings can be prepared in advance, frozen, and then used as needed. Quality store-bought semi-finished products are also quite suitable for the soup.

Cooking

3. Add grated carrot to the onion, fry until the vegetables are browned. Optionally, you can add one chopped bell pepper to the vegetable sauté.
4. For aroma, add tied sprigs of dill, parsley, and celery (to your taste) to the boiling broth. Remove the sprigs before adding the sautéed vegetables to the soup.
5. Prepare the herbs. Chop the garlic, green onion, dill, and parsley leaves. Sprinkle with salt and chop well with a knife.
6. When the potatoes are half-cooked, add the rinsed buckwheat groats to the broth and cook for about 10 minutes.
7. Then add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the soup, let it boil for 5 minutes.
8. Gradually add the dumplings to the soup, stirring to prevent them from sticking together, and cook for 5-7 minutes until done.
