Description

Rivels (a crumb-sized egg noodle) and hard-boiled eggs complete this Pennsylvania Dutch recipe for chicken soup with celery and corn fresh off the cob.

Ingredients

1 (4 pound) chicken
1 onion, chopped
4 quarts water
1 (10 ounce) package frozen whole kernel corn
1/2 cup chopped celery
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup milk, or as needed
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped

Directions

1 In a large stockpot, cover chicken and onion with water. Cook slowly until tender, about 1 hour. Remove chicken, let cool and remove meat from bones. Cut meat into 1-inch pieces; discard skin and bones.
2 Add chicken pieces, corn, and celery to the stockpot. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer soup for 10 minutes.
3 Make rivels by combining flour, egg, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix in enough milk to form small crumbs.
4 Drop rivels into soup and add hard-boiled eggs. Simmer for 15 minutes and serve hot.
