I thought my grandmother was the only one who made this and could never figure out if she called it 'rebel' or 'rivel' or 'revel'. There was never any measuring, either. Just depended on how thick we wanted it each time. = )

I'm going to try this soon. My grandmother used to make this but put cubed potatoes in it. I haven't had it in years!!

Finally the recipe that matches my Grandma's. We cook this with a bay leaf and add cinnamon while eating. Thank you!

I was just telling my wife about my mom's rivel soup. I never knew if it was a passed down recipe, or a "real" dish. I'd never heard of rivels. Anyway, this sounds just like what my mom used to make. Not like the other recipes with chicken stock. I'd only add pepper to make this like my mom's.

Tony, I grew up eating Rivels, Whenever I would ask friends "Did you ever have Rivels?" they looked at me like I was crazy! It was one of the go to suppers we had on Friday's and during Lent. Can't wait to share this with friends!!

Wow!! This is great! I've been looking for this recipe for years. My mother made it and we just called it Egg Soup, but I could never find anything that resembled it. I had never heard of Rivels, but now I know. I will be making this tonight! Thank you.
