Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups diced potatoes
2 1/2 quarts water
6 chicken bouillon cubes
1 cup thin noodles -- cooked and drained
1/4 pound thick sliced bacon -- diced fine
1 cup chopped onions
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh chopped parsley
1 bay leaf*
Fry bacon and onion until onions are lightly browned in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Add 2-1/2 quarts water, bouillon cubes, bay leaf, and potatoes. Cook until potatoes are soft.
Add noodles, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes. Before simmering soup for last 10 minutes, make some grated dumplings* and add to the soup with noodles. Then simmer for 10 minutes. Also sprinkle soup with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
*Grated Dumplings:
Combine 1 cup flour and 1 egg, adding enough warm water (about 2 to 3 tbsp.) to make a very stiff dough. Work dough in a kneading fashion for a few minutes.
Dip dough in flour quite often while grating so it doesn't stick to grater. Grated dough should be size of very small peas. Add to soup and simmer.
Serves 6
Note : *Be sure to remove bay leaf before serving.
