Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced onions
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls into the boiling water. Cook until the dumplings float to the surface, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In a separate soup pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add diced carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken and parsley to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Gently add the cooked dumplings to the soup. Stir gently to combine without breaking the dumplings.
- Serve the Knoepfla Soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
