Chicken rivel soup with sweet corn

Chicken Rivel Soup with Sweet Corn is a comforting and hearty dish that combines tender chicken gravy with sweet corn and unique flour rivels. This Pennsylvania Dutch-inspired recipe is simple yet delicious, perfect for warming up on a cold day or as a satisfying meal anytime.

Ingredients:

4 cups chicken gravy
960g
1 egg
54g
1 cup sweet corn
160g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gravy:
- In a large pot, bring 4 cups of chicken gravy to a gentle boil over medium heat.
2. Make the Rivels:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg lightly.
- Add 1/2 tsp salt to the egg and mix well.
- Gradually add the all-purpose white wheat flour to the egg mixture, stirring continuously until small, crumbly pieces (rivels) form.
- The texture should be similar to coarse breadcrumbs. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a few drops of water; if too wet, add a bit more flour.
3. Cook the Rivels in the Gravy:
- Once the chicken gravy is boiling, carefully add the rivel mixture to the pot.
- Stir gently to ensure the rivels do not clump together.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rivels are cooked through and the soup thickens slightly.
4. Add Sweet Corn:
- Add the 1 cup of sweet corn to the pot and stir well.
- Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve:
- Once the soup is ready, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.

Tips:

- When making the rivels, ensure the flour and egg mixture forms small, pea-sized clumps for the best texture.

- For an even richer flavor, use homemade chicken gravy or a high-quality store-bought option.

- You can add other vegetables such as carrots or celery to the soup for added nutrition and flavor.

- Season to taste with additional herbs and spices like black pepper, thyme, or parsley to enhance the flavor profile.

- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mix in a slurry of cornstarch and water towards the end of cooking.

With its simple ingredients and straightforward cooking process, Chicken Rivel Soup with Sweet Corn is a delightful and cozy dish that’s sure to become a family favorite. Follow these tips to perfect your soup, and savor the comforting flavors of this traditional recipe.
