To make the dumplings, combine flour with salt, add water and whisk. Add oil and whisk again. The dumpling batter should be a creamy mixture, almost like a thicker sour cream. Let the dumpling batter sit until you make the soup.
Heat up a pot. Add oil and chopped onions. Cook for a minute or two.
Add carrots bay leaves, ground black pepper, 3 cloves of chopped garlic and Herbs de Provence. Stir and cook for a couple of minutes.
Add the broth and let the soup boil until the carrots are halfway cooked (about 10 minutes). Add potato cubes and salt to taste.Boil, until the potatoes are almost soft.
Now start adding the dumplings. Take a teaspoon of dumpling dough and carefully slide it into the boiling soup. Continue, until you are out of the dough. If all the dumplings are added, cover the pot with a lid and let the soup boil on a medium heat for 7 - 10 minutes.
