This version, cooked with the help of Philips Multicooker, will provide you with a rich soup, full of flavors and fluffy dumplings that melt in your mouth. Ingredients for chicken soup - 500 g chicken meat (thighs, wings, drumsticks – the choice is yours) - 1 medium onion - 1 piece of leek (optional, but recommended for extra flavor) - 2 carrots - 1 parsley root - 1 parsnip - 100 g celery - 50 g kohlrabi - 1 bunch of fresh parsley - Salt and pepper to taste Ingredients for dumplings - 1 egg - 1 tablespoon of oil - A pinch of baking soda - 4-5 tablespoons of semolina - Salt and pepper to taste Preparing the dumplings The first step in making this delicious soup is to prepare the dumplings. In a bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of baking soda, oil, and a pinch of salt. Then, gradually add the semolina, stirring constantly to obtain a homogeneous mixture. It is important not to rush; mix well and let the mixture rest for about 15 minutes. This will help develop the fluffy texture of the dumplings. Preparing the soup While the dumplings are resting, you can start preparing the soup. Take the Philips Multicooker and place the chicken meat cut into suitable pieces inside. Add 2 liters of hot water. Select the BOIL option from the device menu and set the cooking time to 30 minutes. Close the lid and press the START button. Meanwhile, clean and wash the vegetables. This is a relaxing activity and, moreover, it will fill your kitchen with enticing aromas. Once the soup has boiled for 30 minutes, add the whole vegetables to the soup, along with salt and pepper, to give them a rich flavor. Select the STEW program from the Multicooker menu again, set the cooking time to 40 minutes, close the lid, and press START. Dumplings in the soup With 10 minutes remaining before the program ends, open the lid and use a teaspoon to drop the dumpling mixture into the soup. You will get about 10-12 dumplings, which will turn into true delights. Don’t forget to add a teaspoon of chopped parsley at this stage for an extra flavor. Close the lid and let the program finish. After cooking is completed, the Philips Multicooker will automatically switch to KEEP WARM mode, keeping the soup warm until serving. If you do not intend to serve it immediately, you can unplug the device from the power source. Serving and suggestions Once you are done, the soup can be served with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top. It is a perfect dish for a cold evening or to bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones. You can accompany the soup with a slice of fresh bread or crunchy croutons for added texture. Practical tips - If you want an even richer soup, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream when serving. - Dumplings can also be made with cottage cheese for a heartier version. - If you like spicy soups, a freshly chopped hot pepper can be added to the soup for a more intense flavor. - You can experiment with various vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers, to customize your soup. Nutritional benefits This chicken soup is not only tasty but also nutritious. Chicken meat is an excellent source of protein, essential for a balanced diet. The vegetables provide an important supply of vitamins and minerals, while the semolina dumplings offer carbohydrates that will give you energy. It is an ideal dish for the whole family, suitable for both colder days and moments when you need a little comfort. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use turkey instead of chicken? Yes, you can replace chicken with turkey for a lighter version of the soup. 2. How can I store the soup for several days? The soup can be stored in the refrigerator in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Make sure to reheat it well before consuming. 3. Can I freeze the soup? Yes, the soup can be frozen, but it is recommended to do so without dumplings, as they may become mushy upon thawing. You can add fresh dumplings when reheating the soup. 4. How can I make the dumplings even fluffier? If you want even fluffier dumplings, you can add a bit of milk or sparkling water to the dumpling mixture. In concluding this recipe, I cannot help but mention a few personal moments. I grew up with this soup every Sunday when the family gathered and we talked about the week that had passed. It is more than just a recipe; it is a symbol of warmth and family love. I encourage you to make it and share these moments with your loved ones. Enjoy your meal!
