Rivel Soup

Beef broth Seasonings

1 small egg 1 cup flour

Drop the egg into the flour and rub well together, thus making the "rivels." Sprinkle these into the boiling broth and cook until very tender.

Democrat Noodles

1/2 cup flour

1/4 cup milk

Mix together, using just enough milk to make a dough that can be rolled 1/4 inch thick. Cut into narrow strips or inch squares and cook in broth like ordinary noodles. Most people undercook these noodles and rivels, consequently they are not as tender as they should be. If well cooked, they will be improved fifty per cent.

Suggestions For Vegetable Soup

With or Without Meat Stock

Almost any combination of vegetables can be used: left-over Egyptian rolls and the broth in which they were cooked; left-over Spanish rice, Macaroni Mac, hominy or spaghetti dishes; left-over vegetables cooked with Braised Meat, bits of carrots, onions, cabbage, tomatoes. In fact any of these leftovers can be made into a delicious soup without broth. Use 3/4 cup water for every person to be served, add left-overs, season well and just before serving add a bouillon cube (dissolved in a little of the hot soup) and 1/2 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet for every pint water used.

Croutons

Cut left-over bits of bread into tiny cubes, dry in warming oven until crisp. Keep in can covered with cloth. When needed heat to restore crispness.
