Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 2 stalks, diced Celery
• 2 medium, diced Carrots
• 3 medium, peeled and diced Russet potatoes
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Crack the egg into the center and mix lightly.

Step 2

Gradually add the water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth.

Step 3

Divide the dough into small pieces and roll them into 1/2-inch dumplings (kneophla). Set aside.

Step 4

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 6

Drop the kneophla dumplings into the pot, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, black pepper, parsley, and garlic powder. Simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread.
