Knoephla Soup

Ingredients

Knoephla Dough:
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
Soup:
Salt& pepper to taste
4 cups milk
1/2 cup cream

Preparation

1
For the knoephla, combine dough ingredients to make a medium stiff dough, add more flour if needed. Chill.
2
Once chilled, take 2 tablespoons of dough at a time and roll between palms of hands until they’re about as thin as a pencil.
3
On a floured surface, cut rolls into ½-inch pieces.
4
Cook dough pieces in a large kettle of boiling water for about 20 minutes, stirring often so knoephla won’t stick together.
5
Drain & reserve.
6
To prepare the soup, sauté onions in 2 tablespoons of butter. Add potatoes and bouillon cubes. Add enough water to cover ingredients and cook for about 25 minutes.
7
In a large kettle combine the cooked knoephla, potato mixture, milk and cream. There should be enough milk to cover. Simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
