Prepare your own recipe of chicken soup as for chicken and dumplings or noodles or make this German soup. Cook until the potatoes are tender.

KNOEPHLE:

2 c. flour
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk
1/4 tsp. baking powder

Mix the above ingredients together to form a stiff dough. Take ropes of the dough and cut with clean kitchen shears in pieces about the length of the end joint of your little finger and drop into the boiling soup.

Boil about 5 minutes or until the dumplings rise to the top. Some people like to add a little milk just as this is served in the bowls.
