Julie,

Perhaps the dumplings were "KNEIDELACH"? These have a Jewish origin, are
made from matzah flour and are usually found in chicken soup.

Regards,

Les.

In making our cross country move, we ran across a delicious soup in two
different restaurants. It was a cheese soup with dumplings in it. It
tasted like macaroni and cheese. I believe the first two letters of the
soup were "kn". I also believe that both restaurants that served it were
located in North Dakota. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I am looking
for the name of the soup and/or a recipe. From the best I can gather in
searching the Internet, it seems to be a German Russian recipe. I have
found dumpling soups (mostly in chicken broth) and also some cheese and
potato dumplings that can be added to the broth of your choice or served
with gravy. I realize this soup is probably not suitable for a diabetic,
but my daughter loved it and I'd like to make it. In the meantime, I think
I'll try the potato and cheese dumplings served in a broth with non-starchy
vegetables. That way I can eat more soup and less dumplings.

Thanks!
