It is SO good.<BR/><BR/>You just cook a whole chicken in a pot of water, debone, and add the meat back into the stock. I will also use boneless chicken breasts if that is what I have on hand. Like any good soup, I like to simmer it all day long. I’ll add bouillon (I use the paste kind, as I prefer it over the cubes) if it needs more chicken flavoring, and I also add pepper to taste. <BR/><BR/>About 30 minutes or so before you are ready to serve, make your neffla dough. Nefflas are made by beating an egg (I always do two because I make a large pot of soup). Once the egg is beaten, add a cup of water, and salt to your liking. Then mix in flour a bit at a time (I mix in with a fork) until the mixture becomes a ball and sticks together.<BR/><BR/>Bring the soup to a boil while you’re making the dough. Add teaspoon fulls of dough until used up. Cook for 15 minutes; the dumplings will swell and rise to the top. Serve up in bowls with bread and butter on the side.<BR/><BR/>Gramma always had homemade bread, which is the best. She would also make homemade noodles for other recipes.<BR/><BR/>I hope you enjoy it!

I have German heritage, too, and Germans seems to be so good at comfort foods. Here in the desert it is cold (ha ha -- honestly, we are freezing, though we are probably about 65 degrees warmer than you are), and it is definitely a soup week. Would love your recipe!Middle Age Hackshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414267383015498997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502464614080691848.post-19145886084176866302008-12-08T20:42:00.000-08:002008-12-08T20:42:00.000-08:00Well put, Mrs. G.
