Makes 4 servings 1x
Time about 2 hours
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 8 cups chicken stock, store bought or homemade
- 1 cup roughly chopped fresh dill
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated. The mixture should resemble a thick pancake batter. Let rest for 30 minutes to thicken.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once your water is boiling, set a colander over it. Make sure you have an exit strategy ready: a large bowl and a slotted spoon will do.
- Working in batches, push the batter through the colander using a bench scraper or metal spatula. The batter should drip through the colander and into the water. Let cook for 30 seconds, until the nokedli pop to the surface. Use a wide slotted spoon or spider strainer to transfer nokedli to a clean large bowl. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Pour the chicken stock into a large Dutch oven over high heat and add nokedli. Bring to a rolling boil, then immediately turn off the heat. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Ladle the soup into individual bowls or mugs and garnish with so much dill and a little bit of olive oil.
