8 cups chicken broth
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 sweet onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of snipped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon of snipped basil
2 cups cooked chicken, diced

Steps:

  • Drain well.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and meat will give your rivel soup the best flavor. If you can, buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in your rivel soup should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and flavorless.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Use a homemade stock if you have time, or a good quality store-bought stock.
  • Season the soup to taste: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your soup until it tastes just the way you like it.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
