Quick Spring Onion Flour Soup

This version of the flour soup uses your ingredients for a simple, flavorful broth that complements your dumplings beautifully!

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons oil
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups water (or enough for your desired soup consistency)
• 1/2 cup chopped spring onions
• Pepper to taste
• 1-2 teaspoons chicken seasoning (adjust to taste)
• 1-2 cubes Maggi (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat.
2. Add the flour and stir to create a roux, cooking it for about 2 minutes until it starts to smell fragrant and turns a light golden color.
3. Gradually add water while stirring to avoid lumps. Stir until smooth.
4. Add the chopped spring onions, pepper, chicken seasoning, and Maggi cubes (if using).
5. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5-10 minutes until the soup thickens slightly. Adjust the thickness by adding more water if needed.
6. Serve hot alongside your boiled dumplings!

Boiling Dumplings Instructions

Now, let's get those dumplings boiled!

1. Prepare a Pot of Water: Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring it to a rapid boil.
2. Shape Your Dumplings: Roll pieces of your rested dough into small circles (about 3 inches in diameter), then fill them as desired or leave them plain.
3. Boil the Dumplings: Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Do not overcrowd the pot—boil in batches if necessary.
4. Cooking Time: Cook the dumplings for about 5-7 minutes. They are done when they float to the surface and are tender. You can cut one open to ensure it's cooked through.
5. Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings and place them into your soup or serve them on the side.
