Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

We all know there's nothing like a big bowl of warm chicken noodle soup!  Soothing for the body and soul!  This is my grandma's recipe and it's amazing! 






Place a whole chicken in a pot and cover with water and boil away!  tip*when you buy whole chickens be sure they're over 5lbs to make sure you're getting a good deal on the meat and that you're paying for too much bone.

DON'T DUMP OUT YOUR STOCK...this is your broth!

After it's all cooked take your chicken out and when it's cooled, shred it. 

You'll probably need to add more water to your broth as much of it boils out when cooking the chicken.  To your broth add: 4 sliced carrots, 4 sliced celery stocks, and a chopped medium onion, and your shredded chicken.  Let simmer as long as you'd like but at least 30 min.

Noodles:
Beat 2 eggs, and 2T milk, and 1T salt together.  (Your noodles will be very salty but this will help to salt your broth as they boil)  Add enough sifted flour to make the dough thick-start with 1c and slowly continue to add.  Roll out the dough and cut in 1/4" strips-I use a pizza cutter.

my kids love helping with this part!

These noodles can be dried and saved!  


About an hour before serving bring your broth to a full boil to add your noodles.  You need to add your noodles one at a time so they don't stick together.

Let your soup boil until your noodles are plump and soft.  Be sure to taste your broth now to see if you need to add more salt.  Depending on how much extra water you had to add you will probably need add more salt.

Serve with French Bread!


Be creative and Enjoy!
