For the dumplings, cut the chives into small rolls. Finely chop the grams and mix well with the egg, flour and semolina and season with salt, pepper, marjoram and a little chives. Let it steep for half an hour.
In the meantime, peel the onions for the soup, chop them finely and sauté in 1 tablespoon butter. Pour onions with beer and soup and bring to the boil. Mix the sour cream with 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth and mix into the soup. Let the soup simmer on a low flame for about a quarter of an hour, season with salt, pepper and a little caraway seeds.
Form small dumplings out of the gram mass and simmer for about 10 minutes in gently simmering salted water. Puree the soup with a hand blender. Take the dumplings out of the salted water and let them drain.
Arrange the soup with dumplings on plates and serve garnished with a little parsley.
Note: Grams are made from omitted bacon - they arise from the meat that is still attached to the fat and are still soft enough to be chopped up after roasting.
