It is better to use poultry: it is more useful, and the broth from it is much more delicious. We will make the first dish exclusively with vegetables, but if desired, you can add to it pieces of boiled meat - lay them directly in each serving. Serve with garlic dumplings or croutons.

Cooking method: First, remove excess chicken from the chicken, place it in a ceramic pan and pour it with water. Put on a quiet fire and bring to a boil, lightly salt the broth and do not forget to remove the foam from it, otherwise the soup will turn cloudy. Meanwhile, take care of the remaining ingredients: remove the carrot from the carrot and chop it in thin circles. Peel the cut on the middle half rings. As you know, the vegetable is quite sharp, so that during the preparation of the dish not to utter a single teardrop, use the following advice. So, first cut the onion into two parts, then hold them in icy water, and the knife also cool under the tap. Then boldly proceed to cutting the product. Now remove from the mushrooms an extra film and cut them with plates of medium thickness. Preheat the sauté pan with butter, pour the carrots into it, fry on minimum heat until the color changes. Then add the onion, stirring regularly, hold the dishes on the stove for another two minutes. Now enter the mushrooms and a little salt, keep cooking. When all ingredients are soft and juice is released, turn off the fire. For this soup, we take the recipe for dumplings from semolina, but there are many other options that we will consider later. So, boil the salted water in a saucepan (take half a glass), as soon as the liquid starts to boil, remove it from the plate and, without stopping stirring, pour the mango into the dishes. Remember, the movements should be very fast, in the end you will get a custard batter. Roll it into a thin layer, from which form the dumplings. The recipe has come to an end, it remains to combine all the ingredients together. To do this, put boiled vegetable broth into boiling chicken broth and continue to cook the food on minimum fire. It is recommended to add a little spice to the fragrance, for example, black peppercorns or favorite dried seasonings. After about ten minutes, put the dumplings in the dishes and cook the food for a further maximum of seven minutes until the products come up.

Cooking method: To make chicken soup with dumplings a fragrant and tasty, first you need to make a rich broth. To do this, we recommend buying poultry. Note that it will have to be cooked for much longer than the usual store, but the dish will be more appetizing and useful. In addition, the meat of a domestic chicken is always much more tender. If you want to save money, buy a special set for soup, consisting of giblets. Now let's get down to business: so, rinse well and dry the carcass, pluck it and put it in a pot of water. Cook over medium heat, remembering to periodically remove the foam. Throw a few pinch of salt in the dishes, stir. Place a pre-cleaned onion and carrot. Note, it is not necessary to cut vegetables, they must be whole. Add the fragrant pepper and a few laurel leaves to the broth, reduce the flame of the burner and continue to cook for at least another half an hour. On average, cooking a broth from a domestic chicken takes about 45 minutes. Try the meat to taste, if it is soft and tender, then the bird is ready. Remove it from the dishes, separate the meat from the bones, then stretch it with your hands onto the fine fibers. Whole vegetables you will no longer need, so take them out of the broth and discard. Now cut off the peel from the potatoes, chop it with thin straws and pour into a saucepan. Cook for another ten to twelve minutes with minimal boiling. If you want to prepare your loved ones a hearty, but at the same low-fat first course, then this recipe will do just fine. The undeniable advantage of the dish is its simplicity: to make soup, it is not necessary to be a great chef with a lot of experience - it is enough to love cooking and follow the instructions given. So, move on: peel carrots and onions, after the first cut with straw or grate, and repeat the product with semicircles. Heat a frying pan on a small fire, heat it, then add oil. As soon as it starts to hiss, pour the onions into a bowl and fry it for no longer than three minutes. When it brightens and becomes more transparent, add carrots and continue to extinguish the mass, constantly stirring it. The resulting frying is poured into a pot of potatoes and dipping the dumplings. To your taste, salt and pepper the soup. At the very end, enter into it boiled meat and finely chopped dill. If desired, you can replace the latter with parsley. Cover the dishes with a lid and allow the dish to stand. With such a soup, the meal will be guaranteed to be successful, and your loved ones will be satisfied and satisfied. We specially give the recipe for the dumplings last, because they can be made in advance, say, a few hours before the preparation of the food itself, or quickly douche while broth is being cooked. Here, every mistress acts at her own discretion. The procedure for kneading the dough is very simple: separate the yolk from the protein, the latter into the refrigerator. Butter slightly melt, then combine it with the egg yolk and carefully rub the ingredients with a conventional fork. Now start to gradually introduce into them warm milk. Periodically mix the products, then pour out the sifted flour. Work with a whisk and knead an elastic, moderately elastic dough. Attention, it should not be liquid, otherwise you just can not cope with dumplings - they will disintegrate. The resulting mass of salt, then in a separate bowl whip pre-cooled protein. When it increases in size and looks like a thick, thick foam, put it into the dough. Gently mix the mass, lifting it with a whisk from the bottom up. Some landladies make dumplings with their hands, but we suggest using another way: take two spoons, moisten them in cold water. After one, draw a little dough and throw it into the pan with soup with a sharp movement with the help of a second cutlery. Keep in mind that the products increase during cooking, so do not gain too much weight. After adding the dumplings to the soup, cook the dish for about five more minutes until the items come up. Then enter the greens, chicken and let them bite into it. We hope that this recipe will be "prescribed" in your cookbook for many years.

The food will turn out to be more dense and satisfying. Do not forget about the spices: a few peppercorns and laurel will add to your creation an appetizing aroma and incredible taste. Now let's get down to business. Let's start with the simplest: carefully pinched and washed chicken put in a pot of water. Lightly salt the liquid and put it on a slow fire. Wait until it boils, by the way, always periodically remove the excess foam from the broth. Note that the bird bought in the store is brewed from 20 minutes to half an hour, but the domestic chicken is a bit longer. Consider this, having decided to master this recipe in practice. In order not to waste precious time, engage in vegetables. Remove the bulb from the bulb and cut it into thin semirings. Peel the carrots with medium cubes. Then send both ingredients to a heated frying pan with butter, fry with regular stirring until they change color and soften. On average, the procedure will take about four minutes. By this time the chicken should already be cooked: remove it from the dishes, separate the meat and disassemble it into thin fibers. Then again, return to the pan, add the fried vegetables to the boiling broth, salt it, orienting itself to your own taste. Leave the food to cook for about ten minutes, so that it does not spill out of the dishes, turn on the fire for a minimum. Remained the smallest thing - to blind the dumplings, for this it is necessary to mix the dough. If in the previous version we added milk to it, now we will change the recipe, which will save a little, and take the water. Salt the liquid, then put the egg into it and stir it vigorously with a whisk. Then in a separate bowl, sift the flour and gradually, in small portions, pour it into the egg mixture. Work with a fork to get rid of clots. In the end, you should form a sticky, moderately dense mass. If necessary, lightly dilute it with water. To lay the dumplings in broth, take one tablespoon, moisten it in water, then dial 1/3 of the dough and with the help of the second appliance, push it into the soup. After you finish, cook the dish for another five minutes. Once the items have floated to the surface, you can turn off the hotplate. Wait until the food sufficiently cools, then pour it over the portioned bowls and sprinkle with chopped herbs: dill, green onions or parsley. By the way, in some countries dumplings are used even as an independent dish. For example, in Belarus they are first cooked, and then fried with onion and bacon. The food is served to strong alcoholic beverages.

If you do not want to fuss with meat for a long time, separating it from bones, buy a ready-made fillet, then you will only have to cut it. Chop the product with a knife or special hammer, as a result, the chicken should turn into mass. Connect it to the egg, and here, pour a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Thoroughly rub the ingredients with a fork, then add fresh chopped greens to them. Wash the mince with your hands so that there is not a single lump left in it. By the way, if you used a home or shop whole chicken, then after the cutting will remain bones and skin. Put them in a saucepan and pour water, turn on the fire for medium power and bring to a boil. Periodically remove the foam. As soon as the liquid begins to boil, salt it and reduce the flame. Those who have purchased a ready-made fillet can make soup on water or add to it a pre-cooked meat broth.

As you can see, we prepared the dough products in a separate bowl, however, if desired, you can add them directly to the dish. By the way, so that the mass does not stick to the spoons, soak them in ice water. Now chop the fresh onions and greens as thinly as possible, remove the husks from the garlic and crush it with a press. Five minutes before the end of the culinary procedure, pour the ingredients into the soup. The first dish, the recipes of which we examined today, is very satisfying and at the same time easy, especially if you make it with fresh vegetables, that is, not frying them in oil.
