Tyrolean Bacon-Dumpling Soup (Speckknodelsuppe) image

This is an adaptation of a dish served at the Signaterhof in the town of Signat. I have yet to try it, but it's screaming the "make me" chant from the pages of my newest Saveur magazine. (Oct. 06)

1 1/2 cups warm milk

  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook until softened, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to bread mixture. Mix in flour and salt to taste.
