Fill a large pot with water, about a third to halfway full, and bring it to a boil.

In a small pot, combine 240 ml water, 100 g unsalted butter, and 0.5 tsp salt; heat on medium until boiling.

Add 150 g flour to the boiling mixture, stirring vigorously until thickened and no longer sticking to the pot.

Remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes before adding eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition.

Form the dough into oval balls using two teaspoons and place them on an oiled plate.

Once the water is boiling, add the formed dumplings and boil for 5 minutes until they float to the top.

Remove dumplings and set aside, reserving the water in the pot.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 680 g ground pork, 1 diced onion, 1 large egg, garlic powder, 35 g all-purpose flour, and 60 ml milk; mix until homogeneous.

Roll the mixture into meatballs and place them on a plate.

Bring the reserved water back to a boil and add the meatballs, cooking for 5-10 minutes until fully cooked.

Prepare vegetables by roughly chopping 3 carrots, 3 celery stalks, and a handful of parsley.

In a pot, heat a little oil on medium heat and add the chopped vegetables; cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

Add around 1 tsp dried thyme, pepper, and salt to the vegetables.

Stir in 2 tbsp butter and let it melt, then add 2 tbsp flour and stir until coated.

Gradually add 1 liter of chicken stock while stirring to dissolve the flour.
