Ingredients

For drop dumplings

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • ¾ cup Water

Bouillon haitian soup

  • 2 lbs Beef
  • 3 Potatoes
  • 2 Carrots
  • 1 Onion
  • ¼ cup Spring onion chopped
  • 1 bunch Spinach
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • Cloves
  • Seasoning (bouillon cube, paprika, garlic powder, Oregano, rosemary and salt)

Instructions

Lets start with making the dumplings

  • In a large bowl sift a cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Mix the dry ingredients well then add about ¾ of a lukewarm water and mix until it forms into a dough. It shouldn't be too stiff or too soft either.
  • Let the dough rest for a few minutes (15 to 30 minutes). You can use this time to prep your vegetables.
  • Dive the dough into small meatball-sized balls, the authentic way of making these dumplings for Bouyon Haitian soup recipe is to roll them into a stick-like shape but I prefer mine in a round shape. The stick-like shape cooks faster than my round-shaped dumplings. Set these bad boys aside.

Lets cook this Bouillon Haitian soup

  • Clean the beef and pre-cook it in a deep saucepan on medium heat for 15 minutes.
  • Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-2 inches and the carrots then add them to the pot.
  • Chop the spring onion, and garlic then add to the pot.
  • Chop onion and add it to the pot as well as the cloves.
  • Shred the spinach then add it to the pot and the tomato paste as well as more season with your spices.
  • Add 3 to 4 cups of water and let everything simmer for 5 minutes before you add the dumplings. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes on medium-high heat.
  • Do a taste test, if the dumplings are cooked and the potatoes are cooked then your soup is ready to be served.
