Recipe: Potato and Dumpling Soup

Does this look like the right recipe? I'd be tempted to fry the onions with some bacon to start the soup and maybe add some small slices of carrot. If your Gram cooked like mine, I'm sure she had her own version that would be hard to duplicate. If you find the right recipe, please share it with us. Maybe some of our German friends that visit TKL can help us out too.

Potato and Dumpling Soup

3 c. diced raw potatoes
1/2 c. diced onions
1 c. diced celery
1/4 c. chicken soup base
2 tsp. marjoram leaves
1 tsp. parsley flakes
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. butter
2 qt. milk

Dumplings:
2 c. flour
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Combine soup ingredients, except milk and cook together until tender. Add the dumplings while the soup boils. When dumplings are done, add milk; heat through and serve.

Dumplings: Combine dumpling ingredients in a bowl and mix with a fork until the batter resembles cheese curds. Drop by teaspoonfuls into boiling soup.
