Knoephla Soup

Knoephla Soup is a hearty, creamy comfort dish featuring tender dumplings and potatoes in a savory chicken broth, perfect for warming up on chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup diced cooked chicken (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat and sauté onions and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add chicken broth and diced potatoes; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, mix flour, water, and egg to form a sticky dough. Roll the dough out and cut into small dumplings or drop spoonfuls directly into the simmering soup.
  4. Add the dumplings to the soup and cook for 10-12 minutes until they float and are cooked through.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and diced cooked chicken if using; heat through without boiling.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
