Knoepfla Soup(2)

4 cups water

2 cups (1 151/2-ounce can) chicken broth

1 large onion

1 stalk celery, diced

2 cups diced potatoes

1 cup diced cooked chicken

2 bay leaves

2 chicken bouillon cubes

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup cream

11/4 pounds knoepfla

* To water and broth, add onion, potatoes, chicken, bouillon cubes and

spices. Boil until potatoes are done, about 12-15 minutes. Add cream and

knoepfla. Simmer 30-40 minutes. (Knoepfla dough can be purchased frozen;

it is a type of German dumpling. I like to use a spaetzle dough, which is

more like noodles.)
