We made something similar to this while I was growing up in my Swedish Family. My maternal gramma was German, however, and she taught us to make what we kids called "fat noodles" which sound similar to the rivals or spaetzle. My Mom used a big heavy kettle to make her soup and she just cooked/fried the bacon right in that same pan and then added the rest of the ingredients a few at a time, noodles last. No need to mess up two pans, she said. ;-)
