DANISH POTATO SOUP
I love cooking a ham for my family, because that means we'll be having this delicious hearty soup later that week. This recipe makes good use of all the wonderful fresh vegetables that are grown in Ohio.

DANISH DUMPLINGS
I got this cherished recipe from my ex-mother-in-law who is a fantastic cook! This recipe came across the prairie with her Danish Mormon ancestors. I drop these into leftover-turkey soup and they are unbelievably yummy. I have to make a triple batch and my kids still fight over who ate them all. They would be good in any soup or...

POTATO DUMPLINGS
Good to use with stews or soups. When I was growing up we had these with sauerbraten. I don't know why there's always a crouton in the center, there just is.

DUMPLING SOUP
My mom always made this soup on washday as it was quick to make and very satisfying. It's still a favorite today for lunch. Pepper may be added at the table. Serve with fresh bread and butter. This is a very hearty soup, if served as supper, it is a complete meal.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Crack the egg into a measuring cup, and add enough water to equal 1 cup. Whisk with a fork. Gradually stir the egg-water and oil into the flour mixture with the fork until a soft dough is formed. Use your hands to mix the dough until is smooth and no longer sticky, adding more flour or water as needed. Cover the bowl, and set aside until the potatoes are ready.
- Place potatoes in a large pot with the salt and water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and onion; cook and stir until onions are golden and bacon is cooked. Set aside.
- When the potatoes are cooked, pinch off small pieces of the dough, and drop them into the boiling potato water. Turning the dough in your hand will help keep it from sticking to your fingers. Once all of the dumplings have been added, you can stir in the bacon and onions. Ladle some of the water from the soup into the skillet, and swish it around to clean out all of the tasty bits and juices. Pour back into the soup. Turn off the soup, and let stand for a few minutes before serving.

POTATO SOUP WITH DUMPLINGS
I adopted this recipe found on the site. It is very similar to the one my mother always made. I added more celery, potatoes and onions to better reflect my Mom's original recipe. I have always served this with her dumplings. They are added to the soup after it cooked and cooked for an additional 10-12 minutes with lid on pot...

Steps:
- 1. In a large pot put potatoes, celery, and onions with enough water to just cover vegetables. Bring water to boil and cook just until vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- 2. Do not drain vegetables! Add the milk to veggies in pot and lower temp. to medium. You just want the soup to bubble at this point. Add the butter and thicken with the cornstarch and water until smooth. Check the broth and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
- 3. Put the whipped eggs, and onion powder, salt and pepper, and dried parsley in a bowl. I also add several spoons of water at this point as well. Mix all together.
- 4. Mix flour and baking powder and start adding to your egg mixture. Put in about 1/3 and whisk with the fork, it will be pretty wet at first but keep adding the flour mixture until it completely pulls away from side of bowl and sticks to fork tines.
- 5. Go to the soup pot and using a spoon - dipped in broth first - drop by spoonfuls onto top of soup until the bowl is empty. If there is "loose" flour in the bowl, just dump that in too as it will help to thicken the broth. Put the lid on the pot and DO NOT peek or remove lid for 12 minutes! Make sure the broth was just bubbling when you add the dumpling mix. You do not want the pot to boil over... I have done that and cleaning up the stove will make me very angry... :)
- 6. When you remove the lid, you should see a lot of little dumplings floating around on top. If you want it still thicker, just add more of the cornstarch/water. I also put in a couple more TBLS of butter.
- 7. We like this with a small salad to start and a French baguette with some more butter. Like Paula Deen says "ya'll can't ever have too much butter".
Tips:
- Boil potatoes until tender: Prick the potatoes with a fork before boiling to help them cook evenly.
- Mash potatoes while hot: This will make them smooth and fluffy.
- Use a potato ricer for a fine texture: If you want a really smooth dumpling, use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes.
- Add flour gradually: Add the flour to the mashed potatoes a little at a time, until the dough just comes together.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the dumplings tough.
- Cook dumplings in simmering water: Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer before adding the dumplings.
- Don't crowd the dumplings: Give the dumplings plenty of room to cook, so they don't stick together.
- Serve dumplings immediately: Dumplings are best served hot, right out of the water.
Conclusion:
Danish potato dumplings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of soups and stews. They're also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these dumplings at home and enjoy their delicious flavor and texture.
