RIVEL SOUP
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

POTATO SOUP WITH RIVELS
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.

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.
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!)

Tips:
- Use high-quality potatoes: Choose potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Russet potatoes are a good option because they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a creamy soup.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Use homemade broth if you can, or a low-sodium store-bought broth.
- Add your favorite vegetables: In addition to potatoes, you can add other vegetables to your soup, such as carrots, celery, onions, and leeks. Sauté the vegetables in a little bit of butter or oil before adding them to the soup.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot: Potato soup is best served hot, with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on top.
