Description
Knoephla Soup (Potato and Dumpling Soup) is a classic Midwestern comfort food dish featuring tender potato dumplings in a creamy, savory broth. This hearty soup is perfect for chilly days and is ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 egg
– 3/4 cup milk
– 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cups milk
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the egg and milk, and stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
2. Bring the broth to a simmer in a large pot. Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls into the simmering broth. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through.
3. Add the diced potatoes and onion to the pot. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
4. Stir in the 2 cups of milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve the Knoephla Soup hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot. This will help thicken the broth. You can also add shredded chicken or ham for extra protein and heartiness.
