I asked my Scandinavian neighbor if she had heard of knefla (knoephla) soup and she gave me this recipe.

Ingredients

• 6 potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 2 onions, chopped
• 1 carrot, sliced
• 1 stalk celery, sliced
• 4 cubes chicken bouillon
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 5 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• ⅓ cup margarine
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

Steps

1. In a large stockpot, combine potatoes, onions, carrot, celery, bouillon cubes, parsley, water, salt, pepper, and margarine. Simmer soup until vegetables become tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, mix flour, egg, salt, and milk together in a bowl until a uniform dough forms. Form dough into long strips; cut strips into small pieces (knefla).
3. Once vegetables are tender, add knefla to the pot and let simmer for 30 minutes.
4. Stir in evaporated milk and serve.
