In Central Asian and Caucasian cuisine, there is a dish called chuchvara. This is a soup made with unleavened dough products with meat filling. It is believed that it served as the basis for the recipe for soup with dumplings and vegetables. Pork filling is not added to chuchvara, but you can make minced meat from any meat you like or have in the refrigerator. Soup with dumplings is prepared quickly. It requires a minimum of ingredients.

Place one sheet on the dumpling maker. Put the minced meat in the indentations. Cover with the second sheet of dough. Roll carefully with a rolling pin so that the mold separates the dumplings.

Soup with dumplings - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Keep in mind that the texture might be slightly different, so ensure the dough is firm enough to handle.
Replace the minced meat with a plant-based alternative like lentils, mushrooms, or textured vegetable protein (TVP). Adjust seasonings to taste for a flavorful vegetarian version.
Yes, you can freeze uncooked dumplings on a tray until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes to the boiling time.
If you don't have a dumpling maker, you can cut the dough into circles with a glass, fill with minced meat, fold, and seal by hand. It takes more time but works just as well.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or water to thin if needed.
Yes, store-bought dumpling wrappers work as a shortcut. Just fill them with the minced meat mixture and follow the same cooking steps.
Crusty bread, a simple green salad, or pickled vegetables complement this soup well. A dollop of sour cream or fresh herbs also adds a nice touch.
Add red pepper flakes, a dash of hot sauce, or finely chopped chili peppers to the minced meat or the frying step for extra heat.
