Sounds like it’s sorta like chicken and dumplings. I googled:

Knoephla Soup

“While I was growing up, my mom would make this traditional German soup. It tasted so good on chilly fall days. Knoephla (pronounce nip-fla) Soup is still a warm and comforting meal for my family.”

TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 40 min.
Ingredients:

* 1/2 cup butter, cubed
* 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
* 1 small onion, grated
* 3 cups milk
* 6 cups water
* 6 teaspoons chicken or 3 vegetable bouillon cubes
* KNOEPHLA:
* 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 egg, beaten
* 5 to 6 tablespoons milk
* 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
In a large skillet, melt butter; cook potatoes and onion for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Add milk; heat through but do not boil. Set aside. In a soup kettle or Dutch oven, bring water and bouillon to a boil.
Meanwhile, combine knoephla ingredients to form a stiff dough. Roll into a 1/2-in. rope. Cut into 1/4-in. pieces and drop into boiling broth. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the potato mixture; heat through. Yield: 8-10 servings (2-1/2 quarts).
