Categories     Soups

Time 1h20m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 egg
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons farina
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
5 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix egg, farina, salt and olive oil until well combined. Let stand 30 minutes, either in refrigerator or at room temperature, until firm. Place broth in a 4-quart stockpot and bring to a boil. Using a tablespoon, scoop up farina mixture and drop in soup. Repeat, placing as many dumplings as you can in the pot without crowding. Lower heat to a slow, rolling boil (too strong a boil will cause dumplings to fall apart). Cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until a dumpling cut in half is no longer yellow on the inside. Repeat until finished with all the batter. Place 2 to 3 dumplings in each bowl of your favorite soup and serve.

Tips:

  • To make the dumplings, use a spoon to drop the dough into the boiling water. Do not overcrowd the pot, or the dumplings will stick together.
  • Cook the dumplings until they float to the top of the pot, about 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook, or they will become tough.
  • If you want a thicker soup, add more flour to the dough. For a thinner soup, add more water.
  • Serve the soup immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or dill.
