My family arrived in the States during a time when Americans weren’t very fond of German immigrants. Many tried to hide that they were German. My great-great grandparents traveled from Heide, a town in Schleswig-Holstein Germany to San Francisco where they opened a grocery store. My great-grandpa, Karl Wilhelm Voigt, was born in CA as a first generation American. The family moved when Karl was young to South Dakota & bought a farm & another grocery store which my great grandfather later ran. Our family has always been proud of our German ancestry. Passed down for generations this dish is one I remember my grandmother making every harvest time with veggies picked from her own garden. Over the yrs this recipe evolved & simplified; while the ingredients have changed ever so slightly, the taste & quality have not. The dish is like a thick stew with chicken, veggies & a noodle that is made from an unexpected ingredient. As my great-grandpa would say, Mahlzeit!
