GERMAN DUMPLING SOUP (NOCKERL-/GRIESSKLOSSCHENSUPPE)



German Dumpling Soup (Nockerl-/Griessklosschensuppe) image

Opa loved making us this soup -- so quick and easy, and we even asked him for it as adults. The quality of your stock will go a long way in determining the final flavor of this soup. I think celery (celery salt or fresh stalks) compliments the dumplings well, so I substitute celery salt for the salt. I also add 1/4+ tsp ground black pepper to the dumpling mix.

Time 20m

Yield 4-5 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 cups stock
1 cup farina
3 tablespoons farina
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg (fresh is more authentic)
3 eggs
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring the stock to a rapid boil.
  • Combine the farina, nutmeg, eggs, butter and salt in a large bowl and set aside for 1-2 minutes.
  • Scoop up small spoonfuls of the batter and scrape them into the boiling stock.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent the dumplings from sticking; they will float when they are done!
  • NOTE: If your dumplings disintegrate when they hit the water, ensure that your stock is rapidly boiling; also, "pack" your batter together a bit before dunking it, and/or add another tablespoon or two of farina to your batter -- it may be too moist (again, allow the batter to rest 1-2 minutes before continuing).

Time 40m

Yield 18 dumplings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
1 cup semolina (farina can be substituted)
1 pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 pinch salt
fresh ground pepper
soup stock
chopped chives (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs and melted butter until foamy, stir in the semolina, season with salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg to taste. Mix well and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Form oval quenelles with the aid of 2 teaspoons, drop them into boiling water, don't overcrowd the pot, they will plump up.
  • Cook for 10 - 15 minutes or until they rise to the surface.
  • Remove from the heat, add one cup of cold water to the pot and let stand for another 10 minutes, by now they should have doubled in bulk.
  • Drain and serve in broth, sprinkled with chives and grated nutmeg.
  • Note: I always make one extra dumpling that can be cut open to check for doneness. If the sample dumpling is not soft inside, leave them a little longer. It should be soft but not mushy.
