A comforting and hearty soup featuring homemade rivels, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat the chicken broth in a large pot until it begins to boil.
Using a low-sodium broth allows you to control the saltiness of the soup.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Ensure the flour and salt are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix with the flour and salt using a fork until crumbly.
Mix until the dough forms small, crumbly pieces resembling coarse breadcrumbs.
Drop small portions of the dough into the boiling broth.
Add the rivels gradually to prevent them from clumping together.
Cook the soup for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir gently to ensure the rivels cook evenly and don't stick to the pot.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
