CHEESE DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• For the broth: Peel 1 onion and trim off ends. Cut onion in half horizontally and brown, cut side down, in a dry pot. Add 2.5 liters (approximately 5 cups) of cold water. Rinse beef and bone and place both in pot. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 2.5 hours. Skim off foam, if needed. Add more water, if needed.
• Peel and dice remaining onion. Peel and chop carrots and parsnips. Rinse and chop celery and leek. Add to the pot after about 1 hour of cooking time. Add peppercorns, pressed juniper berries, bay leaf, lovage and parsley after about 2 hours of cooking time.
• For the dumplings: Place bread in a bowl. Boil milk and pour over bread, let sit for about 10 minutes. Peel and mince onion. Heat 1 teaspoon ghee in a pan and cook onion. Add onion to bread mixture. Stir eggs, cheese, parsley and cumin into bread mixture and season with salt and pepper. Knead into a malleable dough. If dough is too soft, add some breadcrumbs. Let dough rest for about 10 minutes, then shape into dumplings.
• Remove meat from broth and use as desired. Pour broth through a sieve lined with cheesecloth and discard solids. Bring broth to a boil and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat clarified butter in a pan and cook dumplings until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Place dumplings in a soup bowl and pour in broth. Serve garnished with chives.

CHEESE DUMPLINGS FOR SOUP

Steps:

• Rub butter into the flour until crumbly.
• Mix in the cheese, thyme and about 1/2 cup (125ml) of water or enough to bind the mixture together.

DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Crack the egg into a measuring cup, and add enough water to equal 1 cup. Whisk with a fork. Gradually stir the egg-water and oil into the flour mixture with the fork until a soft dough is formed. Use your hands to mix the dough until is smooth and no longer sticky, adding more flour or water as needed. Cover the bowl, and set aside until the potatoes are ready.
• Place potatoes in a large pot with the salt and water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and onion; cook and stir until onions are golden and bacon is cooked. Set aside.
• When the potatoes are cooked, pinch off small pieces of the dough, and drop them into the boiling potato water. Turning the dough in your hand will help keep it from sticking to your fingers. Once all of the dumplings have been added, you can stir in the bacon and onions. Ladle some of the water from the soup into the skillet, and swish it around to clean out all of the tasty bits and juices. Pour back into the soup. Turn off the soup, and let stand for a few minutes before serving.

• Add water, basil, bouillon cubes, salt and pepper, and sugar.
• Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 20 minutes.
• Near the end of the cooking time, heat half and half or milk so that it is hot.
• Add hot milk to soup and stir.
• Pureé with an arm blender, or do it in batches in a blender.
• Strain soup through a sieve or run it through a food mill to eliminate any peels and seeds that remain.
• Mix egg with about 1/4 cup flour (amount will depend on how firm you like your dumplings) and salt and pepper to taste, until well combined.
• Bring soup to just below boiling and drop in dumplings by very small spoonfuls. Cook about three minutes, or until dumplings float to the surface. Dumplings should be almost like spaetzle, quite small, and soft when cooked.
• Serve hot with chopped fresh basil or toasted croutons as a garnish if desired.

POTATO, HAM, BROCCOLI AND CHEESE SOUP WITH BABY DUMPLINGS
