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.

How to cook Soup with dumplings

Step 1

Prepare the dough. Add the egg to a deep bowl, pour in water, milk, salt and mix. Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes, cover it with a bag or film. Leave for 20 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, finely chop the onion, add to the minced meat. Salt, pepper and mix well.

Step 3

Make dumplings. Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll each one out to a thickness of 2-3 mm, with a diameter corresponding to the size of the dumpling maker. 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. Turn the mold over so that the dumplings fall out of it. Roll them in flour.

Step 4

Prepare the vegetables. Cut the potatoes into cubes, put them in boiling water in a saucepan. Cook until half-ready for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Prepare the frying. Place finely chopped onion in a well-heated frying pan. Fry for 3 minutes. Add grated carrots. Fry for 7-10 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Cook the soup with dumplings. Add the dumplings to the pot with the half-cooked potatoes. Add salt, pepper and bay leaf. After the dumplings float to the surface, remove the bay leaf from the pot and add the fried vegetables. Cook for another 5 minutes.
