I love soup. I would eat it regularly if my husband was on board (alas, he is a soup-hater). I think the best soup I make is my vegetable noodle soup which is so very delicious. One day I will sit down and put it into recipe form so that I can share it with you. But today, I want to share the recipe I use for dumplings. I do not always put dumplings in my soup, but every once in a while I want a little extra treat. I always loved it when my mom added dumplings to her soup. Yum. These are so easy to make and my kiddos just love them. And yes, I realize it is August, but I eat soup year round, even in this desert.
Absolutely Perfect Dumplings
Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup milk ( I use 2%)
Directions
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking powder.
- In a saucepan, bring the butter and milk just to a simmer.
- Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients.
- Stir with a fork until the mixture just comes together.
- Divide the dough mixture into 16 dumplings.
- Roll each piece of dough into a small ball.
- Carefully lay the formed dumplings on the surface of the soup.
- Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Do you love dumplings, too?

I love dumplings and just writing this post and looking at it today makes me want to eat them right now lol. Maybe I’ll come over and try yours. 😉
Mmmmmm… that does look really good. Next time I make homemade soup I will try your dumpling recipe.
Reminds me of the dumplings my mom used to make as a child. Chicken and dumplings are one of my favorite soups.
I eat this
I think I will have to make them soon. I used to love eating them as a kid I think my kids should try them as well
i absolutely love dumplings! i too, love homemade soup, and would make it all the time … alas, my husband is not a soup lover. i wonder if it’s a “male” thing? my mom makes the best dumplings. i think my favorite were the potato dumplings my mom would make with the leftover ham and ham bone from easter dinner. thank you for sharing your recipe! will have to give it a try. 😀
Dumplings are also my favorite in soup! Thank you for the recipe!!
These look simple to make. Much easier than the last recipe that I tried. I’ve never been much of a soup maker but a dear friend of mine just loves chicken and dumplings and I like to make them for her. I will try this one next! Thank you, for posting! I would love to try your vegetable noodle soup too!
I miss eating chicken dumpling.
