Potato dumpling soup is a hearty, comforting dish loved worldwide. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients: 2 potatoes (peeled and grated), 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 egg, 1 onion (diced), 2 garlic cloves (minced), 4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable), 1 cup milk, salt, pepper, and butter.

Steps:

1. Prepare the dumplings: Squeeze excess water from grated potatoes. Mix with flour, egg, salt, and pepper until a thick dough forms. Drop small spoonfuls into simmering broth. Cook for 10 minutes until dumplings float.

2. Make the soup: Sauté onion and garlic in butter until soft. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, stir in milk, and season. Simmer for 5 minutes.

3. Combine: Gently add cooked dumplings to the soup. Heat through, but avoid boiling vigorously to prevent dumplings from breaking.

Variations: For extra flavor, add herbs like dill or parsley, or mix grated cheese into the dough. Top with crispy bacon or croutons for crunch.
