Pelmeni Soup (Russian Dumplings Soup)
Pelmeni soup is very quick to make and is so flavorful! I make them with Homemade Pelmeni (meat dumplings) or use pre-made ones. They're cooked in a simple onion broth and boiled until al dente.
Equipment
- 1 6-quart pot
Ingredients
- 11 cups water
- 4 1/2 cups frozen meat Pelmeni (dumplings)
- 1 whole yellow onion
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp Vegeta seasoning , (or Mrs.dash all-purpose seasoning)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh dill
Instructions
- In a large 6-quart pot, bring 11 cups of water to a boil, with a whole peeled onion and 2 bay leaves. Simmer for 15 minutes to make a flavorful onion broth.
- After the onion and bay leaves have boiled for 15 minutes, add 4.5 cups of frozen Pelmeni, 1 tsp salt, 2 Tbsp Vegeta seasoning, and 1/8 tsp ground black pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
- After the Pelmeni have cooked for 5 minutes, turn off the heat and add minced garlic and fresh dill. Cover and let the soup sit for a few minutes to let the flavors blend.
- Serve with crusty bread!
Notes
- If omitting the Vegeta seasoning or using a salt-free Dash seasoning, add more salt and pepper to taste. Vegeta is very flavorful and has salt.
- I make these homemade Pelmeni using a cheap pelmeni mold (from Amazon). Pelmeni are very simple meat dumplings that only have a handful of ingredients. The raw onion and garlic give it a distinctive European flavor we love! To make them healthier, try these whole wheat pelmeni with ground chicken.
