This is an old backwoods hand-me-down family recipe that will warm your insides and stick to your ribs. Great for a cold winter's day or just when you want a quick filling meal. Serve with beef roast and garnish with diced fresh garden tomato.
This is definitely not a thick gravy. It's a dumpling soup, with the egg and flour making tiny dumplings that cook quickly in the beef broth. In my family, we added fresh or canned tomatoes as well. This is really some wonderful stuff! Perfect for a cold day.

This is not thick gravy as another reviewer wrote. If made correctly it's like tiny dumplings in the beef soup. It tasted quite good and is an extremely cheap soup that is very filling.
You cut the flour/egg mixture into "ribleys" and drop them into the broth to cook. My mom added tomato (sauce?) to the broth as well.
I made this soup for a quick lunch. It's fast and simple. It's also a good base that you can modify to your own tastes. I added left over green beans and topped it with sautéed cabbage with a squirt of hot sauce. My 3 year old son enjoyed his plain - just the dumplings and broth - and loved it. I will definitely make this recipe again.
Made according to directions but added veggies and pinto beans. Also added season salt, garlic powder and Basil to pressured cooked stew meat. Delicious!
We loved it. It was delicious. I did add peas and carrots to it and a little salt. Definitely is a keeper and will make it again soon.
My grandma made this with chicken broth. She called it “Reeble” soup. She added just a little water.
After losing power for six days this is all I had on hand that didn’t spoil ingredient wise like so many other ingredients I had that sadly needed to be tossed. Borrowed the eggs from a friend even. Ate it by candle light. Despite all it was good as was the conversation and “indoor camping” was born. Thanks for sharing. And the next day—power! Bless all!
