4 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ (15.25 ounce) can yellow corn, drained
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 small onion, diced

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

POTATO SOUP WITH RIVELS



Potato Soup with Rivels image

This was my grandmother's recipe and I am pretty certain it was passed down through the generations from Amish roots. For added flavor, chopped onions and bits of ham can be added with the potatoes and ham broth may be substituted for the water.

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

GRANDMA'S RIVELS



Grandma's Rivels image

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!)

GRANDMA PORTER'S DEPRESSION POTATOE SOUP RECIPE



Grandma Porter's Depression potatoe soup Recipe image

Provided by á-1907

Number Of Ingredients 5

Water
Potatoes (either peeled or not)
eggs
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • There is really no amount of ingredients that she ever told me of. She simply peeled the potatoes; cut them up into large cubes; put them into water; boiled until done; cracked her eggs (as many as she had available) directly into the boiling water because the eggs will break apart as they boiled and incorporate into the soup. She always told me that flour was hard to come by during the depression so the eggs were used as a thickening agent. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. This was an instant filling meal enough to feed all of the family. On a cold day, this soup is simply wonderful.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato soup because they are starchy and will thicken the soup nicely. You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes, but they will result in a thinner soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the potatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beef broth.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the vegetables will make the soup bland.
  • Season to taste: Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a touch of acidity with lemon juice or vinegar.

Conclusion:

Potato soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying soup that will warm you up on a cold day. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give potato soup a try.
