dumpling dough

for this soup is really simple. It’s similar to the dough on my Quick Easy Biscuits. There are a couple of things you should consider:

  • If you don’t have a pastry cutter, you can cut the cold butter into the dough with a fork
  • .

  • I used skim milk to make my meatballs, but you can use any milk you have on hand

How to make a Roux

This soup gets its thickness from a roux. A roux is a combination of a melted fat and flour with the addition of a liquid.

Here we are using the butter that we sauté the vegetables, then we add flour and finally slowly add the chicken broth.

It seems to me that the most successful rouxs are those that are done with patience. Slowly add your chicken broth. Whisk about two tablespoons at a time at first before adding the rest. This will result in a thick and creamy soup.
