There is nothing better than a semolina dumpling soup made from beef stock. This is a German dish called Griessnockerlsuppe. Semolina dumplings are suitable for freezing, as is the stock. The boiled beef can be used for other dishes, such as marinated beef salad.

Time 12h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ pounds beef bones
1 pound beef shank (beef shin meat)
2 quarts cold water
1 large onion, peeled and halved
¼ teaspoon black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
salt to taste
1 parsnip, peeled and quartered
1 turnip, peeled and sliced
1 leek, trimmed and chopped
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 stalk celery, trimmed and sliced
freshly ground black pepper
½ cup milk
5 ½ tablespoons butter, softened
¾ cup semolina flour
2 eggs
salt to taste
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place beef bones and beef shank in a large pot; add cold water, onion, peppercorns, bay leaf, and salt. Bring to a boil; cook, skimming foam from the top, for 30 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer stock for 1 hour.
  • Stir parsnip, turnip, leek, carrot, and celery into the stock; cook for 1 hour more. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve and return to the pot; season with salt and ground black pepper. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. Remove the fat from the top of the stock.
  • Bring stock to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer.
  • Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat; add butter and cook until butter is melted, about 5 minutes. Gradually stir semolina into milk mixture with a wooden spoon until mixture is smooth. Lightly beat eggs in a bowl and stir into semolina mixture until very smooth; season with salt and nutmeg. Remove from heat and let stand in a cool place for 30 minutes.
  • Shape semolina mixture into small dumplings using 2 spoons or wet hands. Drop dumplings into the simmering stock and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

This soup is a lot of work to make and it's not worth the effort. I wouldn't recommend it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out too salty. I think I will use less salt next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.

This soup is easy to make and very tasty. I used chicken broth instead of beef broth and it turned out great. I also added some fresh parsley to the soup before serving.
