Category: | Category:Soups, Stews, Salads and Sauces |
Ingredients: | Ingredients:4 or 5 Med potatoes diced |
Directions: | Directions:Prepare the potatoes, put in a med.cooking pot and cover potatoes with water. Add onion if desired.Cook till tender . While potatoes cook, put flour in a med bowl. Add salt and egg and enough liquid to make a very stiff dough. Set aside. To the cooked potatoes add salt and pepper to taste and slices of the butter. Add the can of milk and rinse out the can with water and add to the potatoes also. Allow soup to come to a slow boil. Sprinkle dough with flour, and flour hands so dough isn't sticky and is easy to roll between your fingers and make rustic worm shaped noodles. (see picture) Drop the rivals/noodles into the boiling soup. Use plenty of flour to keep the dough and rustic noodles dry as you work with them. The flour on the noodles also helps to thicken the soup. I make the noodles about 2 inches long and about the size of a drinking straw. These are rustic noodles so they will not be uniform, just delicious. If there is any left over the soup will thicken when cooled and you'll need to add water or broth to thin it down when reheated. You may also taste and see if you want to add more butter or salt and pepper before serving. We like it rich and buttery. |
Personal Notes: | Personal Notes: The Mystery of the Rivel~ I also found in my research that the Pennsylvania Dutch/German's and Amish put rivels in other creamy type soups such as Northern Bean Soup or even broth based soups such as Chicken Soup, which would be like a Chicken Noodle Soup but with the round rivel instead of the flat egg noodle. Mamaw Corrie and mama made Rivel Potato Soup anytime someone wasn't feeling well. It seemed to cure whatever was wrong. It also can be served with grated cheese, or sour cream and bacon bits. |
