Ingredients

• 8 cups chicken stock
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg (for dumplings)
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup egg noodles (dried)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil or butter

Directions

Step 1

Heat the cooking oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they soften slightly.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the chicken stock, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Step 5

While the soup is coming to a simmer, make the dumpling batter. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, egg, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth and thick.

Step 6

Once the soup is simmering, use two spoons to drop small dollops of the dumpling batter into the soup. They will puff up as they cook.

Step 7

Cook the dumplings in the simmering soup for about 10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are cooked through and tender.

Step 8

Add the dried egg noodles to the soup and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
