1 pinch

Salt (to taste)

1 large

Directions:

1

Add the rivels to the simmering soup and cook until they are tender

2

Cook the chicken slowly in 4 quarts of water (or to cover) for 1 hour

Add the vegetables and cook for another 1 hour, then add the lovage and lemon and continue to cook slowly until the chicken is very tender and falls away from the bones

4

The broth should never boil

7

At this point the stewing chicken has lost its nutrients and taste, discard it

8

Return the stock to the pot and add the saffron

9

Cut the kernels from the ears of corn

10

It is important to get the most "milk" from the corn, so cut the corn with a sharp knife (not too close to the cob) and go back over the cob with the flat of the knife to release the "milk"

Add the corn to the broth and saffron

12

Add the celery

13

Season with salt and pepper to taste

14

Add parsley and simmer until the celery is tender

15

Break 6 of the cobs in half and cover with water

16

Add 2 whole chicken breasts and simmer with the cobs until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes

17

Remove the breast and strain the "cob water" into the soup

18

Remove the skin and bone from the chicken breasts

19

Cut into bite sized pieces and add to the soup

20

Correct the seasoning if necessary

21

Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt

22

Make a well in the center

23

Whisk the eggs until light colored and add the water

24

Pour this into the well and stir to form a stiff dough

25

Break off piece of dough and dip into flour

26

Shape in hand into tiny strings of dough

27
