Knoephla Soup (Creamy chicken soup with potatoes and dumplings)

This is a hearty, filling, and delicious soup that was originally developed by German-Americans in the Midwest. This is a great way to warm up on wintry or blustery days. The dumplings in this soup are dense and chewy, not delicate or pillowy. I love them! 😋
Please note that I borrowed heavily from Molly Yeh’s recipe from the Food Network.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Slice carrots and celery. Chop onion. Sauté these vegetables in 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter until slightly softened (about 10 minutes).
Toward the end of the cooking time, add 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and the minced garlic. Fry for one minute longer.
- 2
Peel the red potatoes and chop into 1 inch chunks.
- 3
Pour 10 cups chicken stock into a large stockpot. Add bay leaves, thyme, parsley, celery leaves, and potatoes.
- 4
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the pot. Increase the heat so the soup begins to boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 25 minutes.
- 5
Meanwhile, make the dumplings. Sift together flour, salt, nutmeg, baking powder, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk and egg. - 6
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a dough begins to form. It will look dry and shaggy.
- 7
Dump the floury dough onto the counter and gather together with your hands. Knead it gently but don’t overmix it.
Roll portions of dough into logs about 3/4 inch thick. Cut dough into 1/2 inch portions. Keep the pieces small, since they will puff up once cooked. - 8
It’s a little easier if you use kitchen scissors to cut the dough directly into the simmering soup. Cover the pot, and once the soup is simmering again, allow to cook for 20 minutes.
- 9
Stir in fully cooked, chopped chicken. Remove from heat, and after soup has cooled slightly, stir in 3/4 cup heavy cream.
- 10
Ladle soup into bowls and top with some fresh parsley before serving.

I've been thinking that using boiled chicken soup instead of soup stockcubes must give out really good umami-rich flavor. I made this soup as an experiment.-You won't need any soup stock cubes since you're using the leftover soup after boiling some chicken (please refer to. It has a mild yet very savory taste.-Take care not to boil the soup after adding the soy milk and heavy cream in Step 6. Recipe by Sabao cookpad.japan -

When I cook chicken at home, I remove the skin most of the time. So I always cook this with the removed skin. ♪Chicken breast doesn't have much skin, so you need 2 slices. If you use thigh meat, skin from 1 thigh would be enough.I used Japanese leek this time, but spinach or chives are also delicious. ♪ Recipe by OBU cookpad.japan -
