German Knepfla Soup

Submitted by michele frank

"My husband and any one I have served this soup to love it. I was looking in a cook book for Knepfla soup and I found one. But we don' t like celery and I didn't have some of the stuff it called,for so I substituted. It is the best Knepfla soup I had. And the bacon adds some good flavor to it."
