Ingredients

• 100 grams Semolina
• 30 grams Butter
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 liters Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 medium, diced Carrot
• 1 stalk, diced Celery
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Parsley
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, beat the butter until soft and creamy. Add the egg and whisk until fully combined.

Step 2

Gradually mix in the semolina, nutmeg, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until the mixture forms a thick, smooth dough. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the dumpling dough is resting, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced carrot, celery, and onion, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Using two teaspoons, form small oval dumplings by scooping and shaping the semolina mixture. Gently drop each dumpling into the simmering broth.

Step 6

Once all the dumplings are in the broth, reduce the heat to low and let them cook for 10–12 minutes. The dumplings will expand and float to the surface when fully cooked.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Step 8

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