Onion Soup:
3 tablespoons corn oil
4 medium yellow onions — thinly sliced
5 garlic cloves — finely chopped
2 serrano chiles — seeded and chopped fine (2 to 3)
1 large tomato — peeled, seeded and chopped
5 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Blue Corn Dumplings:
1 cup blue corn flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro

Preparation:

Over low heat, warm the corn oil in a large heavy
pot (preferably one that can be carried to the
table). Add the onions and stir to coat them with
oil. Cover and cook them slowly for 20 minutes.

Uncover the pot and raise the heat to moderate.
Stir in the garlic and serrano chile and sauté
for 2 minutes. Then add the tomato and continue
to cook, stirring for 1 more minute.

Add the stock, lime juice and zest and salt and
pepper. Bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat
and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the Blue Corn Dumplings. Sift
the corn flour, baking powder and salt into a
medium-sized bowl. Using your fingers, two
knives, or a pastry cutter, cut in the vegetable
shortening until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

In a small bowl, beat together the egg and milk.
Add the cilantro. Gradually stir the egg mixture
into the corn flour mixture, adding only enough
of the egg to moisten the flour thoroughly. The
dough should not be too wet. Depending on the
size of the egg, you may not need to use it all.

When the soup has cooked for 30 minutes, drop the
dough into the simmering broth a tablespoon at a
time to make a dozen dumplings. Cover the pot
with a tight-fitting lid, and steam the dumplings
for 15 minutes. Keep the soup at a low bubble,
and do not lift the lid while the dumplings are cooking.

Bring the cooking pot to the table and serve the
soup hot in Mexican-style bowls, with two dumplings floating in each.
