Knepfla Soup

Submitted by Anchorage Chef

"This is an easy dish to make. While your stock and vegetables are cooking you are making the knepflas; the last 30 minutes of cook time are passive. I often end up adding more flour to the knepflas, so they are not sticky and easier to work with."

Very good! Agree with the author that the knepfla dough has too much liquid. Next time will use 1 egg + milk to equal 1/2 cup. I also added some diced ham and 1 c half & half to the finished soup to make it creamier.
