The Most Delicious Old-Fashioned German Knoephla Soup Recipe (1)

There must be an unwritten rule that if you do any time in North Dakota, you have to eat Knoephla Soup. This is the VERY best comforting noodle soup you’ll ever have! It’s made with heavy cream and some amazing dumplings.

Knoephla soup is perfect during the winter months and it’s on heavy rotation in our house. In fact, we sometimes make this soup up to 3 or 4 times a month. Definitely a family favorite!

What is Knoephla Soup?

Post Contents

Knoephla is a cream-based potato soup with little noodles or dumplings (the German word for these is knöpfle – meaning knobs). It is thick and hearty and oh-so delicious.

The soup also includes chopped carrots, celery, and onion. It’s super-flavorful and has the perfect balance of seasoning

I’m a protein girl so you may add cooked chicken to this soup as well. My sister and grandma both swear off the chicken in this soup so it works if you’re vegetarian. But if you are looking for protein… I assure you, the soup is yummy with chicken. Rotisserie chicken works really well!

The soup instructions are pretty standard if you’ve ever made a soup in your life.

For the dumplings, the best way to cut them is to roll the dough into ropes and cut them with a pastry cutter.
