Steps:
- For the soup: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook stirring until the shallots are well coated. Add the diced tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the tomatoes have softened about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup water and let sit until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the soup, gelatin and cream to a blender. Blend until smooth and pour in to a glass loaf pan. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- For the dough: Put the flour in a large bowl. Pour half the hot water in and stir with a wooden spoon. Add the remaining hot water and stir until the dough starts to look shaggy. Add all of the cold water and oil. Keep stirring until the dough forms a ball.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until soft, smooth and springs back when you poke it with your finger, 8 to 10 minutes. (Alternately, you can knead the dough in a stand mixer with the hook attachment, on medium speed for 6 to 8 minutes.) Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Take 1 piece (cover the remaining 3 pieces with plastic wrap) and cut it into 4 pieces. Work with 1 small piece of dough at a time, keep the remaining covered with plastic wrap. Roll the dough between your palms to make a round, smooth ball. Using a rolling pin, roll into a 4 1/2-to-5-inch circle. (You may need more flour to keep the dough from sticking but try to use it sparingly.)
- Fill the dough with 1 heaping tablespoon of tomato soup filling and then press 1 tomato half into it. Pleat the dumpling: Use your fingers to pleat and pinch the edge of the dough together, enclosing the filling, into a little satchel. Twist and pinch the tip of the dough close. Repeat with rest. Make sure that you cover any dough that you aren't currently using and cover the dumplings with a towel to prevent drying out.
- Fill a large pot with 2-inches of water and insert a steamer basket that has a lid. Line the basket with a single layer of Napa cabbage leaves. Cover and steam over medium heat to warm up the steamer and soften cabbage, about 2 minutes. Place dumplings on the cabbage leaves, leaving 1-inch between each dumpling. Steam until the dough looks slightly translucent and the dumplings have slumped slightly, about 12 minutes. Serve in the steamer.
CLEAR TOMATO SOUP WITH HERB CREPES
Steps:
- In a blender, combine the flour, milk, water, egg, egg white, and salt and blend until smooth. Pour into a measuring cup with a lip and stir in the herbs. Cover and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the clarified butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan and tilt it in all directions so that it forms a thin coating, then quickly pour out any excess. Cook until the bottom of the crepe is lightly browned, lifting up the edges to check, then flip over and cook for 15 to 20 seconds more. Remove from the pan, add little more butter, and make the next crepe the same way. Continue until you have used all the batter. Pile the crepes up, roll them into a tube, and thinly slice them crosswise into a julienne. Set aside until ready to serve.
- In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, puree the tomatoes for 3 to 4 minutes, pulsing on and off and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary untilt he puree is very smooth and watery. Pour the puree into a large saucepan, add the egg whites and the salt and whisk together. Slowly bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly so that the liquid doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. When the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to very low, so that it just barely simmers, and allow to cook completely undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Line a sieve with a double-thickness of slightly dampened cheesecloth. Without disturbing the crust of egg white which has formed, slowly pour the soup through the sieve into a clean pan (all the skin and impurities will be left behind, with the egg whites, in the sieve). Drain in the sieve for 15 minutes, then gently reheat just before serving.
- Add pepper to taste and serve in warmed bowls, each one garnished with a little jumbe of the slivered herb crepes.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will ensure that your soup has the best possible flavor. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season.
- Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup: This will help to concentrate their flavor and give the soup a richer, more complex taste.
- Use a variety of herbs in the dumplings: This will give them a more interesting flavor. Some good options include parsley, thyme, sage, and rosemary.
- Don't overcook the dumplings: They should be cooked through, but still light and fluffy. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
Conclusion:
This tomato soup with herb dumplings is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold day. The soup is rich and flavorful, with a slight sweetness from the roasted tomatoes. The dumplings are light and fluffy, and they add a nice savory touch to the soup. This is a soup that the whole family will enjoy.
