Kitchen know-how

Tips for Maultaschen in broth

Just let them go

After inserting, stop boiling the broth bubbling. Heat the filling gently without tearing the pastry open or becoming cloudy.

Finely chop the soup vegetables

Fine carrot sticks, small celery cubes and thin leek rings cook quickly and can be spooned together with the mouth bag and stock.

Taste the broth first

Balance salt, pepper and nutmeg before the mouthfuls. Finished goods can give off seasoning, so only carefully correct after pulling.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Use a strong vegetable broth made from roasted onion, celery, carrot and leek. Vegetarian stuffed dumplings make it a meatless main course.

Just before serving, add small egg-stick cubes to the hot broth. Sprinkle with chives and parsley to preserve colour and flavour.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Maultaschen in broth

As a main course, two large Maultaschen per person are usually sufficient. If you have small Maultaschen or as a soup course, adjust the amount accordingly to three to four pieces.

Pre-cooked dumplings usually take 8 to 10 minutes over low heat. Raw homemade dumplings take slightly longer depending on the thickness of the dough.

Freeze the dumplings and the stock separately so that the pasta dough does not become too soft. Defrost slowly and warm the pockets in the hot stock.

Chive rolls are classic; parsley, fine leek rings or a few roasted onions also fit. Dose vigorous inserts sparingly so that the broth remains the focus.
