Nana's Potato Soup with Dumplings ❤️
Nana's Potato Soup with Dumplings, aka Kartoffelsuppe mit Klösschen, was sent in by one of our readers, Nana from Witchita, KS, USA. Do read the notes added by Nana at the end of the recipe. She's even included dairy and gluten-free options!
She's trying to locate the origin of this soup. Perhaps you recognize it?
If you have an original or traditional German recipes, do send it in as well. We'd love to share it with our fellow readers!
Nana's Potato Soup with Drizzle Dumplings/Noodles ❤️
Soup base
- Boil several potatoes cut in pieces in salted water in a pot till tender.
- add about 1 cup milk to the water and potatoes.
- add about 1 tsp butter or margarine (keeps the milk from scumming up.)
Noodle base
- In a cup or small bowl put in about 1 cup flour, make a well in the center of flour add egg (not beaten)
- Go to sink and add slowly about 1 Tbsp of tap water to egg portion, while stirring with a fork & "gathering" only bits of the flour to make doughy while stirring; then, add another 1 Tbsp of water from faucet middle & stir again to mix to doughy state; then, keep adding 1 Tbsp water at a time till all the flour is incorporated into the mixture.
- The Dough mixture should be a sticky & slightly runny so it dribbles off fork side. Note: do add water very, very slowly to finally incorporate all flour takes a few minutes. If adding the water to fast you will have a gob and it does not come out right.
- Now add the dumpling/noodle mixture to the very slightly boiling potato & milk soup. Keep adding noodle dough till gone, stir only once to make sure noodles are not sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Cooking at a simmer for about 3 - 5 minutes depending on amounts of water/milk and ingredients used.
Optional choices of other ingredients are chopped
carrots, onions, celery to potatoes that you cook together. Add more if
want salt & pepper to taste, or before eating you also can add
celery salt which is great also if you enjoy it; but, go sparingly with
it
What makes these soups so wunderbar? They bring back such wonderful memories of my Mutti's kitchen. So, of course, I had to write my own soup e-cookbook to share with my grandchildren. I know you'll LOVE it, too!
There are 84 full-color pages filled with step-by-step instructions and hints. Take a quick peek ...
Sharing these soup recipes from my Mutti and Oma to my own young grandchildren ... that's such a delicious way to pass on our German heritage :)
Additional comments from Nana:
Noodle-type Dumplings
Yes this potato soup with dumplings recipe sounds nearly like German noodle type; I added this recipe as nobody had heard about this noodle-dumpling at all in many big German, Polish and other European country luncheons I went to.
For
sure, not with the milk/potato soup that I was raised on. Mom never gave
it a name either. Many people told me to share this recipe everywhere I
went. Perhaps someone will recognize an area in Europe it could be
from. Maybe German-Bavaria area?
Plus, I just made the
dumpling-noodles with a homemade chicken vegetable soup adding brown
rice flour for the dumplings as we now are gluten free (wheat, rye,
barley,etc we avoid). Added the egg to center, and water to mix slowly
then dribble in the soup. The soup and noodle-dumplings turned out
about the same as with the white wheat flour kind.
Plus, I also
have used yams and sweet potatoes, for dumplings which turned out very
nice and moist instead of using white potatoes; these were using a
recipe from this website for cooked potato dumplings, with my twist to
it. These dumplings were great and similar to gnocchi type dumplings.
Then tried the recipe that had rolled the potatoes dumplings and fried them in butter. This dumpling was really, really good.
Good
compliment main meat to serve along with the dumplings, would be
oven-baked lamb. Daughter gave me a recipe, putting in Cafe liquor and
package of onion soup mix and leg of lamb course; putting oven at low
temp about 275 F degrees, then, baked for 1 to 2 hours in covered
casserole dish. It came out so tender fell right off bone, very quick
and easy to do.
Dairy or/& Gluten free ideas
* Just put together, and used goat's milk
for the milk part (if you are on a dairy/ casein free diet & don't
use cow's milk).
* You can also put into the dumplings to flour mix a pinch of salt if you like the dumplings saltier.
* For Gluten or wheat free, try brown rice four that should work OK.

➤ Karen Lodder
Author of German Girl in America
These delicious soups are truly made in no time at all, quick, as the title says, with ingredients that you most likely have on hand.
What a relief it is not having to go shop for ingredients you don’t know how to pronounce!
Included in the book are many ideas of substituting the original ingredients and turning-up the taste a notch or totally changing the taste of the soup...
...Gerhild makes it so easy! She takes away the fear of messing up or trying something new.
Quick Fix Soups is a great addition to my recipe collection, one I don’t want to miss.
Thank you, Gerhild, for inspiring us all and saving us time in the kitchen!
