Soup:
4 cups shelled peas (about 4 lbs fresh unshelled)
4.5 cups water
1 tsp brown sugar
salt and pepper
1/2 c light Rhine wine
4.5 Tbs butter
4.5 Tbs flour
Dumplings:
6 Tbs butter
2 eggs
1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp nutmeg
salt

1
Soup: Cook the peas in the water and sugar until they are quite soft, about 1/2 hour. Then press the soup through a sieve or put it in the blender for a few moments. Season this thin puree with salt and pepper and stir in the wine.
2
Melt the butter in the skillet and stir in the flour. Le the roux cook over a very low flame for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Then stir in a cup or two of the soup and whisk until smooth. Return the thickened soup to the rest and blend well.
3
Dumplings: To make the batter, soften the butter as much as possible, short of melting it. Beat the eggs with the flour and beat in the butter. Season with salt and nutmeg. Drop the batter into gently boiling soup by half-teaspoons. When the dumplings have risen to the top, they need 5 more minutes before they are done.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
