Sweet Pea Soup
Course: SoupsCuisine: German
Simple soup made of peas and dumplings. Traditionally, this soup was made with water and seasoned simply with browned butter. To modernize the soup and increase level of flavor, I’ve swapped out water with chicken stock.
Ingredients
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups frozen sweet peas
2 tbsp butter, salted
- Dumplings
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
Directions
- Prepare Dumplings
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and beaten egg to create dumpling dough.
- Add water, as needed, to create a dough that can be dropped by spoonful into the broth.
- Prepare Soup
- Bring broth to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
- Add frozen peas and cook for 1 minute.
- Begin dropping dumpling dough by small spoonful (approximately 1 tbsp per dumpling) into the broth and peas.
- Leaving broth at a strong simmer, cook dumplings covered for approximately 5 minutes.
- While dumplings are cooking, brown butter in a small frying pan (or saucepan with a good lip for pouring).
- Remove lid and check dumplings for doneness.
- Pour browned butter over dumplings, stir, and serve.
