Creamy Christmas Goose Soup with Dumplings
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Goose probably does not belong to the dietary food, because the animal is relatively rich in fat. However, at Christmas it may be a little more opulent. Goose meat also provides minerals such as iron for healthy blood formation and magnesium for relaxed nerves and muscles.
Instead of the dumpling bread you can also use stale wholemeal rolls. This adds extra fibre to the soup and allows you to use leftover food sensibly.

Preparation steps
Rinse soup vegetables, peel and trim as necessary and chop coarsely. Rinse goose giblets and parts. Place vegetables, goose giblets and parts, 2 teaspoons salt and peppercorns in 1 liter (approximately 1 quart) cold water, bring to boil and simmer over medium heat about 1 hour. Skim foam and strain broth.
In a large saucepan, heat butter and sprinkle in flour, stirring constantly. Pour broth and cream into butter and flour, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and and allow to simmer gently about 10 minutes.
Rinse bell pepper halves, remove seeds and ribs and dice. Add diced bell peppers to soup and season with grated nutmeg, salt, pepper and chopped parsley.
For the dumpling dough, soak croutons in milk about 20 minutes. Beat butter until fluffy. Beat egg and egg yolk into butter. Knead crouton mixture into butter mixture, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and let cool about 30 minutes. With wet hands, shape dough into dumplings and boil 10-15 minutes in hot salted water. Serve soup with dumplings in soup plates.
