Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring water and chicken bouillon to a boil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot.

Step 2

Stir potato mixture into broth and knoephla; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Gather the ingredients.

Step 4

Make soup: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté potatoes, onion, and pepper in hot butter until just tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in milk and heat until almost boiling, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 5

Make knoephla: Mix together flour, milk, beaten egg, dill weed, parsley, pepper, and salt in a bowl until dough is stiff. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.

Step 6

Roll dough into ropes about 1/2-inch thick on a work surface. Cut ropes into 1/4-inch pieces and drop them into boiling broth.

Step 7

Reduce heat, cover the Dutch oven with a lid, and simmer until knoephla begin to float, about 10 minutes.
