Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
10 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 sprigs dill, leaves chopped
4 sprigs parsley, leaves chopped
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 pounds red-skinned potatoes, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 cup water
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Make the soup: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, a good pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and nutmeg and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes, or until fragrant. Stir in the stock, thyme, dill, parsley, bay leaves and potatoes; increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, begin making the knoephla when the soup reaches a boil: Whisk the flour, baking powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, a few grinds of pepper and the nutmeg in a medium bowl. Stir in the water and egg and mix to form a shaggy dough. Turn it out onto a clean work surface and knead for a few minutes, adding more flour as needed, until you have a smooth and stiff dough.
  • Roll out the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick blob, then cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch squares, dusting them with flour so they don't stick together. Drop them directly into the simmering soup for the last 20 minutes.
  • In the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

KNOEPHLA/KNEPFLA SOUP



Knoephla/Knepfla Soup image

This is a popular creamy chicken stock soup with diced potatoes, carrot, celery and onion with little dumplings dropped in after the veggies have just become tender. I actually submitted this recently to our work cafeteria's "Souper Bowl" competition and was picked to cook and serve it. good thing the head chef did the math - it turned out great at 12 gallons! My husband scored the recipe from a friend's wife who offered him a bowl when he was doing some handy-man work at their house. Lucky for me he never turns down a lunch offer - it yields me some tried and true recipes! I have added cubed/shredded cooked left-over chicken to make it even more hearty. You can also garnish with some crumbled cooked bacon bits. I feel that Yukon Gold potatoes work best. If you can eat just a cup, good for you - it'll last longer then. With us, big bowls are the only way!

1 Tbl. butter
2 chopped onions
6 cups water
3 Tbl. chicken base
1 bay leaf
1 carrot, sliced

For those who prefer to make their own knoephla rather that buy the frozen ones, this is how I do it. 2 cups flour 1 tsp. salt 1 egg 1 cup milk Mix above ingredients and cut into boiling soup. A different knoephla recipe 1 cup flour 1 egg ½ cup water Spoon it and dollop it into the soup and cook for 30 minutes

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your knefla soup the best flavor. Try to use in-season produce whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the knefla, make sure to not overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the knefla from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick together.
  • Simmer gently: Once the soup is simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season to taste: Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.
  • Serve with crusty bread or rolls: Knefla soup is traditionally served with crusty bread or rolls for dipping. This is a great way to enjoy the delicious broth and soak up any leftover bits of knefla.

Conclusion:

Knefla soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and herbs. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this soup is a great choice for beginner cooks or those who are short on time.
