This aromatic caraway soup comes together in just over half an hour, combining toasted caraway seeds in a spelt flour roux with a quick-cooking broth. The real charm lies in the fluffy semolina dumplings that cook right in the pot—just be careful not to let your roux brown, as that can turn the whole soup bitter.

Toast the caraway in butter
Melt the butter in a medium-sized pot. Add the whole caraway seeds and toast for about 2 to 3 minutes, until they release their gorgeous aroma. This step also brings out their flavor much better.

Make the roux
Add the flour and toast it until golden — not brown! If it browns too much, it will turn bitter and spoil the soup. Stir together to form a roux, then thin it out with cold stock or water. The amount depends on how thick you like your soup.
