Exploring North Dakota, The Midwest, and Beyond

What the heck is knoephla soup and how do you say that “k” word? Knoephla soup (pronounced neff-lah) is unique to North Dakota. Ask any North Dakotan about it and they’ll probably tell you their grandmother made the best knoephla soup in all of North Dakota. And no, you cannot have […]
