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

Ingredients

  • 8 cups water

  • 6 potatoes, cubed

  • 1 yellow onion

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

  • salt to taste

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 eggs

  • ½ cup half-and-half cream

Directions

  1. Slice onion into quarters and separate layers. Add 8 cups water, potato, onion, butter, bay leaf, parsley, salt, and pepper into a large soup pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

  2. For the noodles: Mix flour, eggs, and about 1 teaspoon of salt in a separate bowl. Stir in enough water to form a thick dough. Slice into noodles; add to soup and cook until fluffy, abut 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. Add cream and heat through.

Tips

I tilt the bowl over the soup and use a butter knife to cut strips as it pours.

This soup tastes even better the next day.
