Knoephla also spelled knephla /ˈnɛflə/ is a type of dumpling commonly used in soups. The word is related to the modern German dialect word Knöpfle meaning little knob/button. Traditional knoephla soup is a thick chicken and potato soup almost to the point of being a stew. It is particularly common in the U.S. states of Minnesota South Dakota and North Dakota where there was significant settlement of German emigrants from the Russian Empire.
