How to Make Amish Rivel Soup

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 large egg until a crumbly dough forms. Add 1/4 cup cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 6 cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option) over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 cup of frozen or canned corn to the broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Using a teaspoon or small spoon, gently drop small portions of the rivel dough into the simmering broth. Work in batches to prevent overcrowding.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the rivels are cooked through and float to the surface. They will resemble small, cooked rice grains.
  6. If desired, stir in 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/4 cup chopped onion during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy this taste of Amish heritage!
