Homemade Vegetable Broth and Dumpling Soup
Just as Olivier Salad is a great recipe to use up vegetables from making broth, this soup is a nice way to use up broth leftovers after cooking vegetables for Olivier Salad. The broth is full of nutrients left from the vegetables and has a sweet, homey taste. I grew up eating versions of this soup for special occasions with family, so it holds a fond place in my heart and always brings me joy.

Yield
Prep time
Total time:
How it's made
|
2 tbsp vegetable oil |
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. |
|
|
1 large yellow onion, diced |
Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until translucent. |
|
|
1 inch long piece of ginger, peeled and shredded |
Add and cook for another minute. |
|
|
10 cups of water |
Add vegetables and bring to boil. Set the heat to medium and cook for about 20 minutes or until all vegetables are cooked enough that a fork presses easily through them, but make sure not to overcook them. Take the vegetables out with a fork (don’t strain), and rinse them under cold water. These vegetables are great set aside and used for Olivier Salad. If you choose to make this salad, skip to the Salad Assembly section of that recipe. The leftover broth will have onions and leftover chunks from other vegetables, but that will add more flavour to the soup so do not discard. |
