Potato-Spinach Soup With Rivels
- 14 cup butter or 14 cup margarine
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 celery ribs (with some leaves, cut fine)
- 14 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth (reduced sodium works fine)
- 3 cups water
- 4 cups potatoes, chopped (I like red potato in this recipe.)
- salt & pepper
- 2 cups spinach, chopped. (I use fresh baby spinach, but frozen will work too.)
- 1 cup Velveeta cheese, cut up
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 1 cup flour (or enough to make a dry mixture)
- 1 egg
- 1 dash salt
- Melt butter in large saucepan.
- A nonstick pan works great for an easy clean up.
- Add onion and celery: cover and cook over low heat until tender (about 15 minutes); stirring occasionally.
- While onions are cooking, make the rivels with the egg and flour and set aside.
- (Flour and egg mixture should be a little dry and crumbly)Don't over mix.
- When the onion is cooked, blend in flour.
- Add water and broth, potatoes and salt: stirring constantly.
- Bring to a boil, when you have a nice boil, add the rivels and stir gently.
- Cover and simmer about 30 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Stir occasionally.
- (If it gets too thick, add a little more water or broth)
- Finally, add spinach and cheese and simmer uncovered until cheese is melted.
- Add milk and heat thoroughly.
