Soup with dumplings without meat
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. This soup is not suitable for fasting due to the presence of eggs, butter, and cheese in the recipe. If you wish to make this soup during a fast, prepare the dumplings using just flour and water, or based on semolina. You can add fresh herbs or your favorite aromatic spices to the dough for fasting dumplings. Whichever version you choose, the soup will turn out rich in flavor, filling and nutritious, thanks to the abundance of fresh vegetables. Keep this recipe in mind—it's an ideal solution when there's no meat in the fridge. Serve in bowls and enjoy.
