Whether it's knefla, kneufla, or knoepfli -- it's still a tasty, German, egg noodle, potato cream soup.
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 large potato, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION:
In a medium bowl, combine flour, egg, 1/2 cup water and salt to form a dough. Cut into thin strips or small pieces.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Stir in dough, potatoes and onion. Cook 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Drain.
While pasta and potatoes are cooking, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Save drippings.
Return pasta and potato mixture to large pot over medium-low heat, and combine with bacon, a teaspoon of bacon grease, milk, cream and salt and pepper. Adjust bacon grease to taste and milk or cream to cover. Simmer 20 minutes, without boiling. Serve hot.
