Puddelsy Soup

This is a sweet snack/dessert that I believe is Dutch in origin (please correct me if I'm wrong ... I have only seen Dutch people make it, including my mom and grandma). The jello gives it a bit of a thicker consistency, but don't expect anything nearly as solid as normal jello. You can use whatever jello flavour suits your fancy, I suppose. We used to love this as kids!
