Griessnockerlsuppe
Austrian clear beef soup with tender butter-and-semolina dumplings and chives.

About Griessnockerlsuppe
Griessnockerlsuppe is a classic Austrian first course of semolina dumplings floating in clear broth. This profile follows Austria Tourism's beef-broth version, with coarse wheat semolina bound by butter and egg and finished with chives.
The broth provides a deep savoury base, while butter and egg give the dumplings rounded richness. Nutmeg adds a quiet warm fragrance and chives bring a fresh onion-like lift to the clear soup.
The soup is clear amber with pale oval dumplings and fine green chive pieces at the surface. Each dumpling is light and tender but holds its quenelle shape, contrasting with the fluid broth.
