Instructions

Make the dumplings: Place rolls in a bowl and cover with warm water; let sit until soft, about 30 minutes; drain and squeeze completely dry.
Using your fingers, crumble rolls into a medium bowl. Add bread crumbs, 6 tbsp. parsley, eggs, nutmeg, and salt and pepper; set aside.
Using a small spoon or butter knife, scoop marrow from bones into a small saucepan; heat over medium heat until melted.
Pour into bowl with rolls and mix until dough forms. Shape into about thirty 1-oz. balls; set aside.
Mix stock, carrot, and leek in a 6-qt. saucepan; season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium, and add dumplings.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until dumplings are cooked through, about 3 minutes.
To serve, ladle soup and dumplings into 8 serving bowls, and garnish with remaining parsley.
