| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a heavy 5- to 6-quart flameproof casserole or soup pot, bring the beef, bones and water to a boil over high heat, skimming off the foam and scum as they rise to the surface. Reduce the heat to the lowest possible point, add the onion pierced with cloves, bay leaf, salt and a few grindings of pepper, and simmer, partially covered, for 1˝ hours, skimming whenever necessary. Then remove the onion and bay leaf, discard them, and transfer the bones to a plate.
|
2. With a small spoon or the tip of a knife, scoop out the marrow from the bones, add it to the soup and discard the bones. Add the celery root, carrots, parsnips, leeks and potatoes and simmer, undisturbed for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables and meat are tender. Stir the Spatzle into the simmering soup and cook for 1 or 2 minutes longer to heat them through.

|
3. Then add the parsley, taste for seasoning, and serve either from a large heated tureen or in individual soup bowls.
