Wash and trim the vegetables and cut into bite-sized pieces. Wash the lovage, pluck the leaves from the stems and chop them finely, setting the stems aside. Knead the minced meat with mustard, a little of the cream cheese, salt and pepper, season to taste, and form into dumplings. Lightly fry the dumplings all over in a little butter, then remove from the pan. Lightly sauté the vegetables in the butter, then pour in the milk and water and season. Add the lovage stems and lemon zest and simmer over low heat until just tender. I also add the finely chopped kohlrabi leaves. When the vegetables are al dente, remove the stems. Add the lovage leaves, stir in the cream cheese, and add the meatballs. Let everything simmer for a few more minutes, season to taste, and serve.
