Kaspressknödel Suppe

Kaspressknödel Suppe is a traditional Tiroler dish that translates to "cheese dumpling soup". It's a comforting, hearty meal often enjoyed in the colder months, but it's also served year-round in many Austrian homes and restaurants. It is made with Kaspressknödel (cheese dumplings formed into patties, then pan-fried until they're crispy on the outside and warm and cheesy on the inside) and clear, flavorful broth made from vegetables, beef, or chicken. To serve Kaspressknödel Suppe, one or two Kaspressknödel are placed in a bowl, and the hot soup is poured over them. The crispy, cheesy dumplings add a delicious contrast to the hot, savory soup.
