Directions

1. 1

   Clean, wash and cut the soup greens into pieces. Peel onions and cut one in half. Wash the meat and boil it up in a pot with soup greens, halves of onions, mushrooms, some salt and 2 litres of water. Cover and simmer on low heat for 21/2 to 3 hours. In the meantime, finely chop the remaining onion for the dumplings. Heat 15 g butter in a frying pan, fry the onion in it until transparent and let it cool down.

2. 2

   Wash parsley, dab dry and chop. Wash the liver and pat dry as well. Put veal liver and onions through a mincer (or finely puree them in a universal food processor) and pass them through a sieve. Stir in egg yolk, parsley and 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper and let it swell for 10 minutes. Add any remaining breadcrumbs if the mixture is still too soft. Form about 16 dumplings with two damp teaspoons and let them simmer in boiling salted water at low heat for 5-8 minutes. Lift them out and let them drain. Take the meat and some carrot pieces out of the stock and strain the rest with the stock through a sieve. Heat the rest of the fat in a saucepan, sauté the flour and caraway seeds in it and gradually add the stock while stirring. Bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes. Meanwhile cut meat and carrots into cubes and add to the soup.
