Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 small Onion; minced
  • 9 cup Chicken stock
Directions
  1. 1
    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. 2
    Pour 8 cups of the chicken stock into the saucepan with the onions. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and season with salt and white pepper to taste. Keep the soup at a low simmer.
  3. 3
    Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup of chicken stock with fresh thyme, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of white pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  4. 4
    Remove the stock mixture from the heat. Quickly whisk in the all-purpose flour until thoroughly blended and smooth.
  5. 5
    Let the flour mixture cool slightly for a minute, then beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. 6
    Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of the dumpling batter into the simmering soup using a spoon. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot.
  7. 7
    Cook the dumplings in the simmering soup until they begin to firm up and float, about 5 minutes.
  8. 8
    Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover tightly with a lid and let the dumplings steam for 3 minutes to finish cooking. Serve immediately.
