This is also the PERFECT soup for when you have an upset stomach. My mom ALWAYS made this soup when I was sick, then instead of the egg dumplings would add little squares of toasted bread. It's a good idea to strain the caraway seeds out for younger children.

Just like my Baba made! Thank you!! Turned out great.

I haven't tried making it yet, but I wanted to make note of something that could be confusing in this recipe. Flour is listed twice, but it doesn't say which is used for the roux or which is used for the dumplings. Because I am familiar with this recipe I know which is which, but someone new to this might be confused. 3 T of flour for the roux. 1 cup of flour for the dumplings. I'm hoping this turns out as good as what my mother in law used to make.

My mother called it sick soup. I'm not sure if she made it exactly this way but it's very comforting.

I had this a lot after I gave birth. It's helps the baby and also with the milk production too! Made it with croutons.
