Ingredients

  • 6 Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled and diced small
  • 1 onion, diced small
  • 2 stalks celery, diced small (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Rivels:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 dash ground black pepper
  • 1 egg

Method

  • Combine potatoes, onion, celery, 1 tablespoon salt, and thyme in a saucepan. Cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add milk, butter, corn, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook and stir gently until butter is melted, about 30 seconds.
  • Place flour, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 dash pepper in a bowl. Crack egg into the bowl and combine with fingers or a fork to create very small dumplings or rivels. Add rivel mixture to the soup. Stir to combine.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally, until rivels are cooked and soup is thickened, about 10 minutes more.
