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.

Potato Bacon Rivel Soup image

In rural Ohio, rivel soup is a treasured home-style soup and everybody has their own version. This recipe is from my mother. You can add left over mashed potatoes after you have cooked the rivels in the onions and celery for extra potato flavor.

Provided by Mama Cee Jay

Categories     Pork

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
1/4 cup celery, finely diced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 dash pepper
1 1/2 quarts whole milk
1/4 lb crisp bacon, cooked
5 tablespoons bacon grease
1 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes, onions, celery, salt, dash pepper in 2 cups of water in stockpot. Cover and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with tip of knife.
  • To make rivels: beat egg and salt with fork in medium bowl. Add flour all at once and beat until small pebbles form. Use your fingers to break apart if necessary. If you have flour that did not incorporate into the egg, then just add it with the rivels as it will help thicken the soup.
  • Add uncooked rivels slowly, adding water if necessary, stirring constantly, approximately five minutes until tender. Add whole milk and crisp bacon and bacon grease. Add evaporated milk and simmer until flavors are well blended.

Mrs. P's Old-Fashioned Potato Soup image

This is the potato soup recipe my grandma used to make: potatoes simmered in chicken broth with the addition of milk, rivels, and flour to add to the creaminess. I crave this simple recipe every winter! I have tweaked the recipe by adding extra vegetables occasionally, but this is the version I like best! Top with fresh scallions or chives and more freshly ground pepper.
