Knephla Soup: A Hearty, Comforting Soup to Warm You Up
If you’re craving something savory and filling to balance the sweetness of pumpkin bars, Knephla Soup is the answer. A traditional German and Scandinavian dish, Knephla Soup is a creamy, comforting soup made with tender potato dumplings and rich chicken broth. It’s the perfect dish for chilly days when you need something hearty to warm you up from the inside out.
Ingredients for Knephla Soup
For the Soup:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
- 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Dumplings (Knephla):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions for Knephla Soup
- Prepare the Dumplings: In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Beat the eggs and add them to the flour mixture. Gradually add the water and melted butter, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Set aside.
- Cook the Soup Base: In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Broth and Potatoes: Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to soften.
- Add the Dumplings: Once the potatoes are slightly tender, gently drop the prepared dumplings into the simmering broth. Stir occasionally to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the bottom. Continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the top.
- Finish the Soup: Once the dumplings are cooked through, stir in the heavy cream and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for a few more minutes to combine the flavors.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has a good amount of dumplings and potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot.
