Ingredients 

Semolina dumplings

  • 2 eggs
  • 10 tbsp semolina flour
  • 2 tsp oil
  • salt to taste

Clear Veggie Soup

  • 2 carrots sliced or cut in chunks
  • 2 potatoes cubed
  • 1 onion cut in chunks
  • parsley lots, for garnish
  • ground pepper and salt to taste

Instructions

For clear veggie soup:

  • Fill a pot with water and add the carrots, potatoes, onion, sea salt and oil. Let them boil until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the onion.

For semolina dumplings:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy.
  • Add the egg yolks and a pinch of sea salt, then mix.
  • Sprinkle in 1 tbsp of semolina at a time, mixing well until you've incorporated almost all of it.
  • Here's the trick: check the dough's consistency. It should be just right, not too thick and not too creamy (about 10 tbsp is usually perfect for 2 medium eggs).
  • Add 1 tsp of oil and mix well.
  • In a large pot, bring water to a boil.
  • Fill a glass with cold water and keep it nearby.
  • Dip the spoon in the cold water each time before shaping a dumpling. One semolina dumpling equals about 1 tablespoon of mixture.
  • Take 1 tbsp of the dumpling mixture and place it carefully in the boiling water.
  • Once all the dumplings are in the pot, add a splash more cold water so the water isn't bubbling.
  • Cover with a lid and let them boil for 8-10 minutes over low heat.
  • When the semolina dumplings are ready, transfer them into the veggie soup.
  • Garnish with lots of fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

For a clear broth, the dumplings MUST be boiled in a separate pot of water; the water must be still (not bubbling) when each dumpling is added. Splash in a little cold water to calm it before each one. Serve hot, garnished with plenty of fresh parsley.
