Great recipe, I did add a pinch of nutmeg to the dumplings and cut carrots into the broth for last 10 min. of cooking for a little extra substance. Additionally , I put a tablespoon of tomato paste in the broth for a personal taste preference. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing.

Flat and tasteless. Hungarians will be insulted that this soup is blamed on them.

I was surprised at how tasty this soup really is as there are not very many ingredients or spices. I will make this again. Lovely recipe Elaine, thanks for sharing :)
