CHEESE DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• For the broth: Peel 1 onion and trim off ends. Cut onion in half horizontally and brown, cut side down, in a dry pot. Add 2.5 liters (approximately 5 cups) of cold water. Rinse beef and bone and place both in pot. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 2.5 hours. Skim off foam, if needed. Add more water, if needed.

Add onion to bread mixture. Stir eggs, cheese, parsley and cumin into bread mixture and season with salt and pepper. Knead into a malleable dough. If dough is too soft, add some breadcrumbs. Let dough rest for about 10 minutes, then shape into dumplings.
