CHICKEN CORN SOUP

Steps:

• Cook the chicken slowly in 4 quarts of water (or to cover) for 1 hour. Add the vegetables and cook for another 1 hour, then add the lovage and lemon and continue to cook slowly until the chicken is very tender and falls away from the bones. The broth should never boil.
• Strain the stock. Discard the vegetables, herbs and lemon. At this point the stewing chicken has lost its nutrients and taste, discard it.
• Return the stock to the pot and add the saffron. Cut the kernels from the ears of corn. It is important to get the most "milk" from the corn, so cut the corn with a sharp knife (not too close to the cob) and go back over the cob with the flat of the knife to release the "milk". Add the corn to the broth and saffron. Add the celery. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add parsley and simmer until the celery is tender.
• Break 6 of the cobs in half and cover with water. Add 2 whole chicken breasts and simmer with the cobs until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the breast and strain the "cob water" into the soup. Remove the skin and bone from the chicken breasts. Cut into bite sized pieces and add to the soup. Correct the seasoning if necessary. Add the rivels to the simmering soup and cook until they are tender.
• Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt. Make a well in the center. Whisk the eggs until light colored and add the water. Pour this into the well and stir to form a stiff dough. Break off piece of dough and dip into flour. Shape in hand into tiny strings of dough. Spread the crumbs on a cookie sheet or clean cloth to dry.

ADRIENNE GARVEY

Steps:

• 1 Cook chicken in slow cooker with plenty of water. I usually fill mine 3/4 of the way full. I also often will cook the chicken overnight. 2 Pick all the meat, light and dark, off the bones. 3 Strain broth from slow cooker into a stock pot. 4 Add water to broth. Don't add too much or you'll lose the flavor. If you accidentally do add too much water you can balance it out with the chicken stock. 5 Add chicken and corn. 6 Bring to boil. 7 Drop in whole, uncooked egg(s) (in the shell). You're basically going to hard boil these in the broth. 8 Allow mixture to cook for 5-10 minutes. 9 Remove egg(s). Shell and dice them. Return them to soup. 10 Add noodles until cooked al dente. 11 Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

PA DUTCH CHICKEN CORN SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Boil chickens, celery stalks, carrots, and onion, some kosher salt & pepper in a stockpot with enough water to cover both. I add about 1 tsp of curry & some chicken bouillon at this point because I like a hearty broth.
• 2. When chicken is cooked, remove chicken & refrigerate separately.
• 3. Let broth cool down a bit to room temperature. Discard celery and onion. Refrigerate broth overnight.
• 4. Next day, skim fat from top of broth.
• 5. Heat broth over medium heat.
• 6. Add chicken bouillon and cans of chicken broth. Heat to almost a boil.
• 7. Remove skin and bones from chickens. Pick off meat in large chunks.
• 8. Add chicken to the broth.
• 9. Add a few pinches of saffron and nutmeg (optional). I also like to add some Hungarian paprika, dill, a bay leaf, a dash of onion powder, a dash of garlic powder, and a little celery seed.
• 10. Add cans of corn. I drain all the cans of corn but one and add the corn juice to the soup. (NOTE: Most people use fresh corn on the cob or frozen corn for their chicken corn soup. I prefer the cans, just because I think it's better flavor.)
• 11. Add more salt & pepper to taste. Let cook for about an hour and check taste again. This normally is where I will add more water if necessary, more chicken bouillon, salt, etc.
• 12. Cut up hard-boiled eggs into bite-size pieces. Add to the pot.
• 13. Continue cooking and add some fresh parsley snipped in small flakes. Once you are happy with the flavor, bring to a low boil and begin to prepare the rivels. My favorite part of chicken corn soup!!!
• 14. Mix the flour, beaten egg, and milk well. I add a few teaspoons of the broth, too, just for flavor.
• 15. Once it is very well blended, drop by very teeny balls into the soup. (Make sure broth is boiling). I take a fork & just let the rival batter fall off. They are not supposed to be pretty, so don't worry about rolling them or making them uniform! They will be a mishmash of yumminess. Don't make the mistake of getting lazy and making the rivals too large or they won't cook well. You can add some broken thin noodles instead if you want to skip this step.
• 16. Continue stirring over boil for about 10/15 mins. The rivels should have a dough texture. I taste again, add more salt & pepper as needed, and another chicken bouillon, if necessary.
• 17. Add fresh chopped parsley. Stir & serve.
• 18. ENJOY!!! This is everyone's favorite soup in Central PA!
