Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use homemade broth or add a bouillon cube to the broth.

Adjust the amount of greens to your liking. You can also add other vegetables, such as diced potatoes or leeks.

If using frozen Maultaschen, add them to the broth when it's simmering gently to prevent them from breaking apart.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup.

If you cannot find Maultaschen, you can substitute with tortellini or other filled pasta. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
