Easy Lazy Pelmeni Soup: A Comforting Russian-Inspired Dish

In the realm of comforting, easy-to-make soups, the Lazy Pelmeni Soup stands out as a delightful choice. Originating from Russian cuisine, this simplified version of traditional pelmeni dumplings offers a quick and tasty alternative.

The recipe begins with 2 quarts of water, a carrot, a celery stick, a bayleaf, salt, and optionally 1 cup of frozen chicken broth. Bring this to a boil.

While the liquid simmers, the main ingredients are prepared. A pound of ground meat (beef, turkey, or pork) is combined with finely chopped onion, salt, and pepper. The meat is then formed into small meatballs or chunks.

Half a pound of extra broad egg noodles is added to the soup and cooked according to the package instructions (usually 8 minutes). Once the noodles are cooked, the meat is added and cooked for about 10 minutes.

The soup is then seasoned to taste with salt and pepper. We like to serve it with ketchup or sour cream.

For those who prefer a version of the recipe that is even easier to make, the author recommends omitting the carrots, celery, and bayleaf from the soup. Remove these ingredients before serving.

The author, who prefers this simplified version due to the dislike of the work involved in making traditional pelmeni, does not provide a link to a tutorial for making traditional pelmeni in this article. However, for those interested in the traditional method, a tutorial can be found online, although it involves making the dough with milk and eggs and takes a significant amount of time.

This easy, yummy, and comforting soup is a great addition to any meal and is a testament to the beauty of simplified cooking. Enjoy!
