Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Add 2 eggs, 1 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Shape the mixture into 8 equal dumplings, pressing firmly so they hold together.

  4. Step 4

    Bring 6 cups beef broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot over medium heat.

  5. Step 5

    Carefully drop the dumplings into the simmering broth. Cook for 15 minutes, until dumplings are puffed and cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each gets 2 dumplings and plenty of broth.

  7. Step 7

    Garnish with sliced green onions and extra herbs if desired. Serve hot.
