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!)

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.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of bread: A good rivvel should be made with a bread that is sturdy enough to hold its shape in the soup, but not so dense that it becomes gummy. A good option is a crusty sourdough or French bread.
- Cut the bread into small pieces: The smaller the pieces of bread, the more evenly they will cook in the soup. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch cubes.
- Brown the bread in butter or oil: This will add flavor and a crispy texture to the rivvels. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the rivvels to the soup towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from becoming too soft or mushy. Aim to add them about 10 minutes before serving.
- Season the rivvels to taste: You can add any herbs, spices, or seasonings that you like to the rivvels. Some popular options include garlic, onion, salt, and pepper.
Conclusion:
Rivvels are a delicious and easy way to add flavor and texture to your favorite soups. With a little planning and effort, you can make rivvels that are crispy, flavorful, and the perfect addition to your next bowl of soup.
