Nöfle are small dumplings brought to the Dakotas (USA) by German immigrants. Recipe author Molly Yeh calls them "the best-kept secret of the Upper Midwest." She makes this nöfle soup for her daughter, because kids love dumplings!

3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Soup:

    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, a good pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and nutmeg and cook, stirring, until fragrant, another 2 minutes.
  2. Add the broth, herbs, bay leaf, and potatoes. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes.

  3. Nöfla:

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, a few grinds of black pepper, and nutmeg. Add 1 cup (240 ml) water and the egg and mix to form a rough dough. Turn it out onto a clean work surface and knead for a few minutes, adding flour as needed, until you have a smooth, sturdy dough. Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1 cm, then cut into 1 x 2 cm squares, dusting them with flour to prevent sticking.
  4. Twenty minutes before the soup is ready, add the nöfla to the pan and continue to simmer at a low heat. Add the cream. Taste and add salt if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Enjoy!
