I always double this, but we like knoephla. If you double, you will notice the following day(s), all the starch from the added knoephla will turn your soup to a solid. You can always add milk to it when you re-heat it, to thin it. If this is your first time making knoephla soup, I would advise you to make just a single batch of knoephla and see how you like it. My parents prefer a brothy, thin soup, you may too. Cutting back on the cream will also help create a thinner soup.
See my knoephla hotdish recipe for knoephla dough pictures. In a large bowl, mix togeter the dry ingredients. Add in eggs. Start adding milk until stiff dough forms. This takes some practice and more flour can be added if the dough is too wet. Cut or tear off a tennis ball piece. Flour it and roll it into a rope (same technique as when you make snakes with play-doh. Remove the cover from your soup and bring to a boil. With a scissors, snip 1/2 inch pieces from your rope into soup. Once one rope is done, continue this process until all the dough is gone. You can make your ropes longer, but I prefer to keep mine pretty short. I think it's easier to work with, especially over a pot of boiling soup. Once all the knoephla are added, turn the heat down to a low simmer for 10 minutes. Add cream and give it a stir or 2. Optional - add parsley. It is ready to serve.
Again, you can eat your soup just like this, or you can top with shredded cheddar, parsley, and/or bacon pieces. And I apologize in advance for the 3 pounds you're about to gain from eating several bowls. Just put your sweats or yoga pants on first. You won't even notice.
