North Dakota’s Knoephla Soup Voted the Nation’s 43rd Favorite Fall Dish

Let’s kick things off with a fun fact: Campbell Soup Company is about to drop the word “soup” from its name, rebranding to just The Campbell’s Company. Naturally, that got me thinking about my own soup obsession because—hello, it’s almost soup season!

My go-to for chilly days? Campbell’s Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup. And of course, I level it up by sprinkling in some shredded cheese and tossing in a handful of Tostino’s Tortilla strips. It’s cheesy, crunchy, and basically everything I need to survive winter!

Speaking of comfort foods, North Dakota’s very own Knoephla soup just landed at #43 in a poll by Wealth of Geeks, ranking America’s top 50 fall dishes, voted on by 3,000 foodies who clearly know their stuff. This German inspired creamy potato and dumpling soup is pure, soul-warming goodness—perfect for those cold, windy fall days. While Illinois’ Pumpkin Pie took the #1 spot (because, pumpkins), Knoephla soup definitely deserves its place on the list!

Here’s a peek at the top fall comfort foods from across the country. From spicy Texas chili to sweet New York apple cider donuts, these dishes are giving all the cozy vibes:
