Ingredients

Maultaschen

  • 18oz maultaschen(Pre-made or homemade)
  • 9oz minced meat(Optional, for filling if making homemade)
  • 4oz spinach(Optional, for filling if making homemade)

Broth

  • 1 3/5 qt beef broth(Or vegetable broth)
  • 1 pc onion(Peeled and quartered)
  • 1 pc carrots(Peeled and roughly chopped)
  • 1 pc celery stalk(Roughly chopped)
  • 1 pc bay leaf
  • 5 pcs peppercorns

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp chives(Freshly chopped)

Instructions

Prepare the Broth

  1. In a large pot, combine the beef broth (or vegetable broth), onion, carrots, celery, bay leaf, and peppercorns.
  2. Bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it gently simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot, discarding the solids. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the broth warm.

Cook the Maultaschen

  1. Bring the strained broth back to a gentle simmer.
  2. Carefully add the maultaschen to the simmering broth. Ensure they are fully submerged.
  3. Cook the maultaschen according to package directions, or until they float to the surface and are heated through, typically 5-10 minutes.

Serve

  1. Ladle the hot broth into individual serving bowls.
  2. Gently place 2-3 maultaschen into each bowl of broth.
  3. Garnish generously with freshly chopped chives before serving.

Tips

  • If making maultaschen from scratch, prepare the filling with minced meat, spinach, breadcrumbs, and spices for authentic flavor.
  • Avoid boiling the broth vigorously once the maultaschen are added, as this can cause them to break apart.
  • For a heartier meal, consider adding some sliced cooked sausages or a dollop of sour cream to the broth.
