    Rivel soup has been a standard in our family for years, it was such an easy and inexpensive way for my Gram to feed a lot of us. I've always explained to people that it's basically dumplings without the fluff to them, or noodles before they are fully incorporated. We have always used chicken as a base, my great gram would add potatoes and bacon to hers. Such a hearty and warm meal.

    I always make my potato soup with egg rivels. Extra, extra rivers! My husband likes his made with milk, shredded carrots, and a little ham or bacon. I like mine water-based with just the potatoes, rivels, and parsley. It’s how we were raised😊
    And I love those ice cream for prep and storage. (In sink at 1:34). If you try to boy that size for storing foods, it costs more than buying the ice cream!

    For rice-a-roni I grind up a box of vermicelli. Then however many cups that turns out to be, I add the same amount of rice. I've never added spices like you did. I just season it as I need for a recipe. I may try the spices next time. Don't forget to keep a stick match between your lips when you chop and you won't cry.

      You will brown the mix when you cook it. I make mine plain to sell so others can use whatever broth they choose. You can add any flavor bouillon you would like when you put it together. You would need about 5 tablespoons for the recipe.

    Hi Renae! You said in the video that you put 2 1/2 tablespoons of onion powder in the quadrupled recipe, but the written recipe in the description shows 2 tablespoons onion powder. Since there are about 8 teaspoons in 2 1/2 tablespoons, should the written directions say 2 tsp. instead of 2 Tbsp.? How much chicken or beef bouillon powder would I add to flavor one cup of the rice mix? I'm going to mix up a batch today! Thanks so much.

Raw potatoes do not freeze well is the word. When u parboil ur potatoes how do they turn out when cooking ur soups and dishes. R they mushy or like potatoes should be in a dish? It has been a conflict in my mind to completely cook potatoes before freezing them. When u cook ur crockpot soup I would think they would disintegrate!
