For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken or vegetable stock in place of some of the milk. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can whisk together a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold milk and stir it into the soup during the last 5 minutes of simmering. Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots, celery, or peas to the soup for added nutrition and flavor. The knefla dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, egg, water, and salt until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02
StepBring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. While the water is heating, roll the dough out thinly and cut into small squares or strips for the knefla. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepGently drop the knefla, diced potatoes, and diced onion into the boiling water. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the knefla are cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Drain the mixture well and set aside. (Cook time: 20 minutes)
04
StepWhile the knefla and vegetables are cooking, cook the chopped bacon in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings in the skillet. (Cook time: 10 minutes)
05
StepReturn the drained knefla and potato mixture to the large pot. Add the cooked bacon, reserved bacon drippings, milk, and heavy cream. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
06
StepBring the soup to a simmer over medium-low heat, being careful not to boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly. (Cook time: 20 minutes)
07
StepLadle the Knefla Soup into bowls and garnish with additional crispy bacon, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy! (Prep time: 5 minutes)
