Chicken Soup with Galushki (Dumplings)
Here's a step-by-step recipe for chicken soup with galushki. Soups with galushki are especially popular in Ukrainian cooking. These little dough dumplings can be made as a dish in their own right or as a thickener for soups — the dough is much the same either way. Today I decided to make a light chicken soup with galushki. It's gentle enough for little ones and fits right into a wholesome diet.

Step 24:
- Pour the water into a pot and add the chicken. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil, then skim off all the foam. Add the whole onion and salt. Simmer over low heat until the meat is cooked through.
- To the sifted flour, add a little salt and crack in the eggs, then knead a small ball of dough by hand. Cover it with a cloth and set it aside to rest a bit.
- Take the cooked chicken out of the pot, pull the meat off the bones, shred it, and return it to the broth.
- Taste for salt again at the end and adjust if needed.
- Roll the galushki dough into a rope and start tearing off rough pieces. The size doesn't matter much — just keep in mind they'll swell to 2–3 times their size as they cook.
- Another way to shape the galushki: roll the dough into a rope and cut it into small pieces.
- Drop the galushki into the soup. Once they float and the water returns to a boil, cook for about 15–20 minutes so they're well done. This dough holds up nicely without going soft, which is exactly why I love it.
- Cover and let the soup rest a little.
- See the full how-to in my short video above.
- Enjoy!
