• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh parsley
• 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
• 4 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

• 2.5 cups milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 (15.25 ounce) can yellow corn, drained

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Beat eggs in a bowl. Add 1 cup flour and stir with a fork until rivel dough is completely moistened.

Step 4

Mash the soup vegetables lightly in the pot. Add milk mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 5

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.
