Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 2 stalks, diced Celery
- 2 medium, diced Carrots
- 3 medium, peeled and diced Russet potatoes
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Crack the egg into the center and mix lightly.
Gradually add the water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth.
Divide the dough into small pieces and roll them into 1/2-inch dumplings (kneophla). Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Drop the kneophla dumplings into the pot, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.
Stir in the heavy cream, black pepper, parsley, and garlic powder. Simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread.
