A little while back I posted a recipe for Knephla soup with a home-made broth. I thought I’d revisit this post, but take a few new pictures (and I used a ready-made broth, for time). Check it out, and be sure to share!
Knephla soup is simply a dough-based soup. Super easy to make, especially with a simple broth. Today I used 2 32 oz. containers of chicken broth and one can of cream of potato soup.
Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 egg
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp. salt (to your taste)
- package frozen veggies (again, to your taste)
- 3 chicken breasts, browned and chopped (you can also use ready-cooked chicken)
To make knephla dough, simply add the flour, egg and water and mix until a dough ball forms. You know the dough is done, when it doesn’t stick to the side of your mixer. If the dough is dry (flaky in the bowl), add a touch of water…if it’s wet (sticky mess), add a touch of flour. When adding to the dough, do so in small amounts. It doesn’t take much to get it to just the right consistency.
I love chopping celery. Well, anything, really.
To the broth above, add in the vegetables (you could also use fresh carrots, celery, potatoes, whatever you’d like…I just happen to have a bag of frozen handy) and the chicken.
To make it faster tonight, I used pre-cooked chicken.
Bring the broth with all your goodies in it to a boil.
Roll dough into strips, then cut the knephla into small pieces. (I usually cut it directly into the kettle.)
To make the actual knephla, tear off a chunk of dough and roll it into a strip. Think about half the width of a paper towel roll. Take your kitchen scissors (or your kids’ scissors…washed) and cut small pieces off the strip, directly into the broth. They may sink right away (unless you have a ton of stuff in your kettle, like veggies, meat, etc.), but they’ll float when the dough has cooked through (about 2-3 minutes). Keep cutting and rolling and cutting and rolling, until all the dough is in your pot.
My knephla always looks a bit more like stew, than soup.
Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Yum! A delicious bowl of knephla soup, ready for supper!
Enjoy!
