Steps:
- 1. SOUP: Cook potatoes and onions at medium heat in chicken broth (uncovered) until they are tender. In a heavy skillet melt the butter over low heat. Stir in flour and cook until bubbly. Slowly add about half of the milk, stirring constantly. Add this mixture to the hot, cooked potatoes and onion mixture. Use a potato masher to break up potatoes a bit. Add the rest of the milk and the salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until hot and just bubbly.
- 2. SPAETZLES: Stir together flour and salt. Mix in egg. Mixture should be the consistency of thin mashed potatoes. If necessary add a bit more flour or a little milk to adjust consistency.
- 3. ADDING SPAETZLES TO SOUP: Use a knife to "cutand push" a thin slice of spaetzle dough away from the bowl they are in and into the soup.Repeat until dough is used up. Speatzles should be approximately 1 inch long and 1/8-1/4 inch wide. A little larger is OK. Simmer soup until spaetzles are cooked.
- 4. FINISHING: If soup is not thick enough, place 1 tablespoon of flour with 1/2 cup cold milk in a shaker and shake until mixed well. Add to the soup, stir frequently, until desired thickness is reached. Adjust seasoning. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley, if desired.

[email protected]This soup was a disaster! The broth was watery and flavorless, and the spaetzles were gummy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I will not be making this soup again.

[email protected]This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. The spaetzles were also a bit too soft for my liking. I think I would prefer to make them a bit crispier next time.
