Chicken Soup with Semolina Dumplings {Ajngemahtec}

April 17, 2015 By Mihaela K. Sebrek Leave a Comment

Croatia has had rewarding contacts throughout history with Germany and I assume that this soup has german origin ( Eingemachtes), but I really don’t know why it is called that way – literal translation in english would be – canned, preserved. But no matter the name, or where it originally came from, you will get nice and comforting chicken soup, traditional in northen and north-western part of Croatia.

Chicken Soup with Wheat Grits Dumplings

Every household has its own recipe and a variation on the theme, but to me, the best and favorite is this mother’s version ( well, she put is her version some kale leaves- unfortunately I didn’t have any in the fridge). If you don’t like dumplings, you can add any kind of pasta in the soup, although I cannot imagine Eingemachtes without dumplings.

Eingemachtes macht sehr gut 🙂

Tip: In most of my soups I use VEGETA Seasoning. It really makes FANTASTIC soups. Detailed description and where to buy it, you can find here: Vegeta Seasoning.
