Ingredients

  • 1 whole small chicken cleaned and washed out
  • 2 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks celery with leaves sliced thinly
  • 1 small onion peeled and diced
  • 1 16 oz. bag frozen corn or fresh
  • 2 hard boiled eggs chopped
  • 1 TBS parsley
  • 1 c. flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1-2 TBS milk

Preparation

Step 1

In large stockpot please chicken, carrots, celery and onions and cover with water. Bring to rolling boil with lid partially on and cook for 1 hour. Remove chicken and cool enough to remove meat from bones. Discard skin.

Step 2

To broth, add corn, parsley, eggs and cut up chicken meat. In small bowl mix flour, egg and 1/2 tsp. salt and approximately 1 TBS milk to make a crumbly but moist mixture. Bring broth back to a rolling boil and take 1/2 teaspoonful at a time of mixture, roll lightly between fingers to about 1" long and drop into broth until all mixture has been used. On a low boil, cook 20 minutes. These are called rivels which is dutch for dumplings and they just slightly help to thicken broth.
