Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Small Onion -- minced
9 Cups Chicken stock
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Thyme
Pinch Freshly ground nutmeg
1 Cup All-Purpose flour
2 Eggs

In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook over
moderate heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in 8 cups of the
chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and white
pepper to taste.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup stock
with the thyme, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of white pepper.
Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and beat in the
flour until thoroughly blended. Let the mixture cool slightly, then
beat in the eggs, one at a time.

Drop tablespoons of the dumpling mixture into the simmering soup and
cook until the dumplings begin to firm, about 5 minutes. Remove from
the heat, cover the saucepan and set aside to steam the dumplings for
3 minutes before serving.
