COUNTRY CLASSIC CHICKEN RIVEL SOUP

Steps:

• Crockpot Ingredients:
• Place chicken, broth, bouillon, pepper and parsley in crockpot and cook 6 hours or overnight, until chicken is tender and can be shredded.
• Using tongs, take chicken out of broth and shred using a fork in a bowl and transfer broth and shredded chicken into a large saucepan and simmer until ready to bring to a boil. Make the dumplings.
• Rivels:
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder and make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the egg and a little of the warm water and start stirring with a fork and continue adding the water until your mixture is a like a sticky noodle batter. Add more flour or less water to get your rivel consistency.
• Bring broth to boil, then drop dough by teaspoonfuls into the boiling soup, stirring constantly, then turn heat down so it's still bubbling but not boiling. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until rivels are cooked through.
• TIP: Test to see if the rivels are done by fishing out the biggest one you can find and cutting it in half. If it still looks dry/floury on the inside, let them cook a little longer
