GRILLED CHEESE-TOMATO SOUP DUMPLINGS RECIPE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Grilled Cheese-Tomato Soup Dumplings Recipe Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by lisaS

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (10.75-ounce) can condensed tomato soup
16 slices Kraft Singles American cheese
32 slices (about 1 1/2 loaves) white sandwich bread, edges cut off
2 cups milk
2 quarts vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Fill molds of an ice cube tray with soup (do not add water or milk). You should have enough soup to fill 8 molds. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Cut each cube into 4 pieces. Wrap each piece in half a slice of cheese. Wrap a slice of bread around the cheese and drizzle 1 tablespoon of milk on the bread to get it moist enough to bind into a ball. Make sure there are no open seams. Heat oil to 325℉ in a deep fryer or a deep, heavy-bottomed pot fitted with an oil thermometer. Fry dumplings in batches until golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Eat with caution, not only because they're hot, but because someone's going to fight you for that last one.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your dumplings the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the dumplings tough.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes: This will allow the flour to absorb the liquid and make the dumplings more tender.
  • Use a large pot of boiling water: This will prevent the dumplings from sticking together.
  • Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through: This will take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve the dumplings immediately: They are best when served hot.

Conclusion:

Cheddar tomato dumplings are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you serve them with soup, stew, or gravy, cheddar tomato dumplings are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new side dish, give these dumplings a try. You won't be disappointed!
