Knoephla Soup (Read 510 times)

My sister sent me this recipe, it is out of a "Ironworkers Local 293" German recipe book that she bought at the state fair in Mandan, North Dakota back in 1984. I fixed a batch of it today and it is really good.

1 medium onion, diced fine
2 tablespoons of butter
4-5 medium potatoes peeled and cubed

Brown onions in the butter. Add the potatoes and
enough water to cover the potatoes sufficiently.
Add a dash of salt and pepper and a few bay leaves.
Simmer until the potatoes are soft

Dough for the knephla

2 cups flour
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
enough milk to make a stiff dough

Cut the dough into the water with the potatoes and onions.
Simmer 15-20 minutes, uncovered
Then add as much heavy whipping cream as you like to make it
as soupy as you like.

Heat and serve!
