Baked Potato Soup With Rivels Recipes

BAKED POTATO SOUP WITH RIVELS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and fry until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour bacon and grease into a large pot. Add potatoes, corn, celery, onion, carrot, and garlic. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons flour and whisk until smooth. Pour in milk, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until soup is thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Beat eggs in a bowl. Add 1 cup flour and stir with a fork until rivel dough is completely moistened.
• Mash the soup vegetables lightly in the pot. Add milk mixture. Stir to combine.
• Drop teaspoon-sized chunks of rivel dough into the soup a few at a time, stirring as you go to prevent them from sticking together. Cook over low heat until rivels are solid, about 15 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper.

POTATO SOUP WITH RIVELS

Steps:

• Cover the bite-sized potato cubes with cold, salted water.
• Bring to a boil over high heat and then turn down the heat to a simmer and cook until done (about 15 minutes).
• Pour the flour into a bowl and form a well (indentation) in the center.
• Beat the eggs together and pour them into the flour well.
• Pinch the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and egg together and the mixture will start to separate in to ‘pellets’.
• Drop the pellets into the boiling cooked potatoes.
• Simmer an additional 10 minutes or until the rivels (formerly known as pellets) are cooked through.
• Add the milk to the soup and heat through (do not boil).
• Season to taste.

BAKED POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wash the potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Wrap them individually in foil and bake until they are soft when squeezed, about 1 hour (see Cook's Note). Let the potatoes cool slightly.
• While the potatoes bake, cook the bacon in a small skillet, in a microwave or on an indoor grill until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels and, when cool enough to handle, crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
• In a large heavy saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour, stirring constantly for 1 minute until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into the thickened milk mixture. Add the Cheddar, salt, pepper, green onions and reserved bacon. Cook over low heat just until heated through, then stir in the sour cream. Garnish with shredded Cheddar, crumbled bacon and chopped green onions and serve with more sour cream on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a roasting tray and bake for 45 minutes. When done, the tip of a paring knife should go through the potatoes easily.
• Slice the bacon into lardons (thin strips) and cook in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
• Add the flour to the drippings in the pot and stir to combine. Cook, without adding color, until the flour and fat has combined, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk while you whisk to incorporate. Cook over medium heat until bubbly and thickened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
• Scoop out the potato pulp from the skins and add to the milk mixture. Mash with the back of a wooden spoon leaving it a little bit chunky.
• Add the cooked bacon (leaving a little out for garnishing the soup), 1 cup of the cheese, and season well with salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted. Remove from the heat.
• Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with sour cream (from a squeeze bottle), sprinkle with remaining bacon bits, grated cheese and chives.
