Easy Kids Meals

This seems to be the week of leftovers, so it’s important to disguise the foods so the kids do not realize that they are eating leftovers. I added simple dumplings to our after thanksgiving turkey soup. The original turkey is brothy and has a lot of meat in it. Adding dumplings to it turns it into a richer and completely different tasting soup.   

• 1 cup of flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• ½ diced onion

• milk

• 1 tablespoon parsley flakes dried

• 1 egg

1. Break the egg in a half-cup measuring cup

2. Add milk to bring the milk/egg mixture to ½ cup

3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients

4. The mixture will be stiff.

5. Drop the dumplings into your heated soup a teaspoon at a time

6. Bring the soup to simmer for 5 minutes with the lid on.
