Step 1
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups stale bread cubes and 1/2 cup milk. Let soak for 5 minutes until bread is soft.
Step 2
Add 2 eggs, 1 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into 8 equal dumplings, pressing firmly so they hold together.
Step 4
Bring 6 cups beef broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 5
Carefully drop the dumplings into the simmering broth. Cook for 15 minutes, until dumplings are puffed and cooked through.
Step 6
Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each gets 2 dumplings and plenty of broth.
Step 7
Garnish with sliced green onions and extra herbs if desired. Serve hot.
