Directions

  1. Quarter the onion and separate the layers.

  2. Boil 8 cups water with the potato, onion, butter, bay leaf, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

  3. When the potatoes are done, mix the flour, eggs, and about 1 teaspoon salt in a separate bowl. Add water until it is a thick dough.

  4. Spoon or cut noodles into soup--I tilt the bowl over the soup and use a butter knife to cut strips as it pours.

  5. After noodles are fluffy, pour in the cream. Heat and serve. This soup is even better the next day!

Recipe Note

My oma used to make this soup when they first came to Canada and had no money--it's been passed down to me, and it's a favourite of everyone I've made it for!
