Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons stick butter
- 1 small onion diced
- 8 ounces ham diced
- 1 can evaporated milk 12 ounces
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 5-6 small potatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon freeze dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Start by peeling, rinsing, and dicing up the potato into small bite size pieces. Place in a pot with a splash of oil (optional) and water. Bring to a boil and let it cook for 5-8 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking add butter to skillet on stove and add diced onions. Saute for 4-5 minutes.
- Then you will add in the ham, evaporated milk, seasoning, and cheese. Lower the heat to a simmer and let the sauce cook as the potatoes are cooking.
- In a bowl you want to add your flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix. Then create a well in the center.
- Add in the egg and milk and lightly mix till combined. Then with a scoop or two spoons open up the potato pot, and make sure pot is boiling. Drop in the dumplings all over the top. Don't stir, THIS IS IMPORTANT - or it turns to gravy.
- Place lid on the pot and cook for 5-10 minutes. Depending on size of dumplings the cook time varies. Mine cooked in about 6-7 minutes.
- Once dumplings are done, drain the liquid off potatoes and dumplings, pour in the ham and cheese sauce, and serve!
- This knoephla soup is great topped with cheese and parsley.

Notes
Dumplings - To know when the dumplings are done, you will remove one, slice and find the center if done being fluffy and the outside will feel stick. Depending on the size of dumplings the cook time will vary.
Meat - You can replace the ham with diced or shredded cook chicken for a more traditional recipe.
Vegetarian Knoephla - If you don't want meat, leave it out, and just make the soup the same way but without the ham.
