Be gentle when working with the gnocchi dough to avoid overworking it.

Add a little more flour to the dough as needed and push it together until it becomes stretchy.

Use a rolling pin to stretch the dough.

Prepare the chorizo filling, noting that Uruguayan chorizo typically contains salt and paprika and is made from 100% pork.

Cut the dough into pieces and use a little water to help the dough stick together when forming the dumplings.

Use a cutter to shape the dumplings by hand for a rustic look.

To make the broth, combine celery, carrots, onions, kombu, bonito flakes, dried porcini mushrooms, and water, and cook for about two hours.

After cooking, add the dumplings to the broth and serve.
