Steps

1 hour

1

Melt the butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the carrot, celery, onions, leeks, season with salt, and cover the lid.
2

Reduce the heat to low and cook very slowly, stirring occasionally, 30 - 35 minutes, until the vegetable are tender.
3

Remove and set aside.
4

Make the dumplings:
Fill a wide deep pot with salted water and bring to simmer.
Set up a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
5

Combine the water, butter and 1 tsp of salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Reduce the hat to medium, add the flour all at once, and stir rapidly with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and the bottom of the pan is clear.
6

The dough should be glossy and smooth but still moist; enough moisture must evaporate from the dough to allow it to absorb more fat when the eggs are added.
7

Continue to stir for 4 to 5 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent the dough from colouring ; a thin coating of dough will form on the bottom and sides of the pan. When enough moisture has evaporated, steam will rise from the dough and the nutty aroma of cooked flour will be noticeable.
8

Immediately transfer the dough to the mixer bowl. Add the mustard and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and mix for a few seconds to incorporate the ingredients and release some of the heat.
9

With the mixer on the lowest speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating until the first egg is completely incorporated before adding the second and incorporating it. Then add the chives and incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
10

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the dumplings using two teaspoons to make a quenelle shape, dropping them into the simmering water.
11

Cook the dumplings in batches to avoid crowding the pot and allow them to cook evenly. Once the dumplings rise to the surface, it will take about 5 minutes for them to cook.
12

Remove one and break it open to make sure it is cooked.
With slotted spoon, transfer the dumplings to the baking sheet and cook the remaining dumplings.
13

Once the dumplings have cooled, trim any uneven edges with scissors.
14

Roux:
Put the butter in a small skillet or saucepan and set it over medium heat. When it is almost melted, whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly and adjusting the heat as necessary so the roux bubbles but does not brown, 3 - 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or other container to cool.
15

Finish the soup:
Add the chicken stock to the vegetable and bring to the simmer.
16

Simmer for 30 minutes, then strain the soup base into another pot and discard the vegetables.
17

Bring the soup base to a simmer and whisk in the roux little at a time until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; you may not use all the roux.
18

Simmer for 30 minutes, skimming often - this is necessary to remove all impurities from the roux. (The soup will continue to thicken as it simmers.)
19

Peel the celery stalks with a peeler. Cut each stalk crosswise on the diagonal into thin slices about 1 1/2 inches long. As you get to the wider lower part of the stalk, adjust the angle of your knife to keep the pieces relatively the same size.
20

You need about 1 1/2 cups celery for this recipe. Cook the celery in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender. Drain, cool in a ice bath and drain again.
21

Cut the carrots lengthwise into quarters and then crosswise into bite sized pieces. As each carrot widens, adjust the size of the cut to keep the pieces bite sized. You need about 1 1/2 cups carrots for this recipe.
22

Put the carrots in a saucepan, add honey, bay leaf, thyme, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper and cover with cold water.
23

Bring to a simmer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but slightly resistant to the tooth. Drain and transfer to paper towels.
24

To finish:
Add the dumplings, chicken, carrots, celery, and chives to the soup and heat through. Season with the vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl and sprinkle with parsley leaves.
25

Enjoy…..
