What are flour dumplings?

Flour dumplings are small cooked balls of dough made from flour, egg and butter that are put into the soup as an accompaniment. They were a common and filling soup garnish of the era.

Can I leave out the sherry?

The sherry gives the soup roundness and flavour, but can be left out. You then get a simpler, mild veal stock soup.
