  2. Meanwhile, make dumplings: In a food processor combine cod, lowfat milk, creme fraiche, cornstarch, salt, pepper and a healthy pinch of nutmeg. Process till smooth. Transfer puree to a bowl, cover and refrigerateat this point, if desired. Beat egg whites to stiff peaks and fold gently into fish puree, just till combined.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer. Drop in dumpling batter, by tablespoonfuls, and simmer them for 2 min on each side, turning them gently with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels while you make remaining dumplings.
  4. Strain fish stock into a cleaned saucepan, add in potatoes, carrots and remaining parsnips, peeled and diced. Simmer till vegetables are just tender, 15 to 20 min. Add in dumplings to soup and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. In a bowl whisk reserved egg yolks with 2 Tbsp. creme fraiche. Ladle 1/2 c. warm stock over yolk mix, whisking constantly. Pour warmed yolk mix back into soup, whisking, till soup thickens slightly.
