Butter Soup

Butter Soup

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
