Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 1 large, diced carrot
- 1 diced celery stalk
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons of water, then add it to the flour mixture.
Stir until the dough comes together, then knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and slightly firm. Cover with a towel and let it rest.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Season with black pepper.
Pinch off small pea-sized pieces of the rested dough and drop them one by one into the simmering broth. Alternatively, use a small spoon to shape the dumplings.
Allow the dumplings to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
