Knoephla Dakota Chicken And Dumpling Soup Recipe 55

KNOEPHLA SOUP

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.
