Steps

Prepare Vegetables

Clean and dice the carrots, parsley root, and celery stalk into small cubes. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.

Soup Base

In a large pot, heat a little oil and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the diced carrots, parsley root, and celery stalk, then sauté for 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, add the garlic, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Make Semolina Dumplings

While the soup is simmering, prepare the semolina dumplings. In a bowl, combine the semolina, egg, melted butter, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using). Mix thoroughly, then let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the semolina to swell.

Cook Dumplings

With wet hands, form small dumplings, about 1-1.5 cm (0.4-0.6 inches) in diameter, from the mixture. Carefully drop them into the gently simmering soup. Cook the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are tender. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve

Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Extra Tips

► The dumplings are most delicious if you let the dough rest for at least 10-15 minutes before cooking.

► If you want a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

► You can also add small pasta to the soup alongside the dumplings if you want to make it even more filling.
