A creamy soup made from various fresh vegetables as passed to my mother from my very German grandmother. This isn't a precise recipe as the vegetable ingredients can vary but usually include the core vegetables of kohlrabi, corn, green beans, peas, carrots, and onion. Beyond these vegetables, add any fresh veggies that you think would interest you or substitute one of the core vegetables for another as long as you don't leave out the kohlrabi as the flavor of the kohlrabi is what makes this soup unique.
Add all vegetables to a large stock pot and fill with water an inch or two above the vegetables. The vegetables will float so just eye ball it. Add a good amount of salt for boiling, undocumented in the ingredients above but about a good heaping teaspoon is a starting point and then to taste after the soup is cooking. Fire up the heat and cook the veggies up, allowing them to simmer for some time. Mom always played a game or two of cribbage while the veggies cooked up.
For dumplings:
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add eggs, stir in milk. Drop dough by spoonful (using small spoon) onto the simmering vegetables. Cook uncovered 10 minutes. Cover and cook about 10 minutes longer to complete the dumplings.
At this point, if the soup is the correct thick/creamy consistency add some milk to give it a nice creamy white look and texture. If the soup is too thin, add a couple tablespoons of flour to a 1/2 cup of milk and stir it in to thicken. Serve hot and keep leftovers in fridge for several days or freeze longer. Love this soup, but I was raised on it! Can also add a cup of turkey for a heartier soup with a bit of protein that tastes every bit as great!
If you're not familiar with Kohlrabi, be sure to peel the outer layer off using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. The outer portion can be woody and coarse, especially on a larger Kohlrabi. This soup may seems too simple, but its good. Do not omit Kohlrabi!
