1 1/8 pounds beef
1 onion peeled and quartered
1 tomato cross carved into the skin
1 leek sliced
1 1/4 cups celeriac peeled and chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 black peppercorns
4 9/16 cups carrots peeled and cut into diagonal chunks
4 eggs
1 9/16 cups semi-skimmed milk
grated nutmeg
3 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley finely chopped
1 1/8 pounds asparagus woody ends snapped off, cut into diagonal slices
3 cups frozen peas thawed

1
Place the beef, onion, tomato, leek, celeriac, salt, peppercorns, 1/2 lb carrots and 8 1/2 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil and simmer over a medium heat for 2 hours.
2
To make the egg custard, grease a small baking dish. In a bowl, beat 2 eggs and 1/2 cup milk together. Season with salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Pour into the dish then place in a hot water bath for 30 mins, undisturbed. Once set, turn the egg custard out of the dish and cut into small cubes.
3
To make the dumplings, melt the butter in a saucepan, add 1 cup milk and bring to a boil. Add the flour all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from the heat, allow to cool for 5 mins, then beat in 2 eggs one at a time. Using your fingers, mix in half the parsley, then form into 16 dumplings.
4
To finish, remove the beef from the stock and dice. Pour the stock through a strainer. Discard the vegetables and return the stock to the pan. Bring to a boil, add the dumplings, asparagus and remaining carrots and cook for 5 mins. Add the egg cubes to the soup along with the peas and beef and cook for 5 mins. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley.
