Hungarian Semolina Dumpling Soup – Grízgaluska leves🇭🇺

Instructions

1. Prepare the soup

  1. In a large pot, bring broth to a gentle boil.
  2. Add carrot, celery, and onion.
  3. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).
  4. Simmer 10–15 minutes until vegetables are tender.

2. Make the dumpling batter

  1. In a bowl, beat egg lightly.
  2. Mix in semolina, flour, pinch of salt, and melted butter (optional).
  3. Let the mixture rest 5–10 minutes — it will thicken slightly.

3. Cook the dumplings

  1. Using a teaspoon, drop small portions of dumpling batter into the simmering soup.
  2. Let them cook 5–7 minutes, until they swell and float.
  3. Taste and adjust salt/pepper.

4. Serve

  • Serve hot, with fresh parsley sprinkled on top.
  • Optional: a drizzle of melted butter for extra richness.

💡 Tips

  • For extra fluffy dumplings, let the batter rest before dropping it into the soup.
  • You can also strain the soup after simmering vegetables for a clearer broth.
  • This is a perfect light meal or starter for Hungarian-style dinners.
