Prepare the Dumpling Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and margarine until smooth.
- Add the semolina, egg, salt, pepper, chopped parsley, and a pinch of nutmeg to the bowl.
- Mix the ingredients until well combined, forming a soft dough.
- Allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
-
Prepare the Broth:
- In a large pot, bring the beef and chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
-
Form and Cook the Dumplings:
- After the dough has rested, roll it into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Once the broth is gently boiling, carefully drop the dumplings into the pot one by one.
- The dumplings will sink to the bottom initially. To make them resurface, gently stir the broth.
-
Simmer the Soup:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes.
- During this time, the dumplings will cook through and absorb the flavors of the broth, resulting in tender, flavorful bites.
-
Serve:
- Once the dumplings are cooked and the soup is fragrant, ladle the hot soup into bowls.
- Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of dried parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve the Semolina Dumpling Soup hot, allowing everyone to enjoy the comforting warmth and delicious flavors.
Note: Feel free to customize this soup by using your favorite broth or stock. Whether it’s beef, chicken, or vegetable broth, the dumplings will happily swim in any liquid, delivering a delightful dining experience every time. Enjoy!
