For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock instead of water. Adjust the amount of milk in the rivels to achieve the desired crumbly texture. Feel free to add other vegetables like diced carrots or potatoes to the soup.
A heartwarming bowl of Chicken Corn Soup, a comforting classic reminiscent of Pennsylvania Dutch kitchens. Tender chicken, sweet corn, and delicate rivels come together in a rich, flavorful broth.
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. (60 minutes)
Add chicken pieces, corn, and celery to the stockpot. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer soup for 10 minutes. (10 minutes)
Make rivels by combining flour, egg, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix in enough milk to form small crumbs.
Drop rivels into soup and add hard-boiled eggs. Simmer for 15 minutes and serve hot. (15 minutes)
