RIVEL SOUP
For years, I'd been trying to figure out how my grandmother made her rivel soup. Then I discovered that it wasn't just something she came up with, but a prized heirloom recipe. Many families have their own special version. -Kathy Kegley, Rural Retreat, Virginia

Steps:
- Stir salt and pepper into egg and add 2/3 cup flour and beat. Keep adding and beating in flour until mixture is crumbly but a bit sticky. Rub between hand or pinch off pea-sized pieces and drop them into simmering soup. Cover loosely and let cook for about 15 minutes or until rivels solidify. To make the rivels ahead of time, cook them in lightly salted boiling water or some extra soup stock and then drain and reserve them to be reheated in the soup just before it is served. Good in Chicken Soup or potato soup.
BAKED POTATO SOUP WITH RIVELS
This soup is my families favorite. Very thick and creamy. My dad used to make this for me when I was a child and now I make it for my children. It is perfect for a cold fall day! Store leftovers in a covered container. This soup gets better and better as it sits.

GRANDMA'S RIVELS
This will forever be a soup that makes me think of my grandma. Rivels are kind of simple little dumplings dropped into any flavor of broth. When I asked my grandma how to make it, she said, "take some eggs and some flour, a little salt, and rivel 'em up!" We often ate this soup with bbq grilled chicken during the summer. (When I was younger we always had chicken rivels, but recently I made a stock with the ham bone from christmas, added some ham soup base, and diced up some leftover ham to add in. This also produced great results!)

AMISH POTATO SOUP
