Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4-5 chicken breasts or thighs if you prefer
1 c chopped onion
1 tsp celery seed
3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into bite sized chunks
4 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley or dried parsley flakes
5 chicken bouillon cubes
2 1/2 c flour
3/4 stick butter, softened
1/3 c (approximately) milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg

Steps:

  • 1. For the stock: Fill a large Dutch oven with about 2 quarts of water. Add the chopped onion, celery seed, garlic powder, parsley, bouillon cubes and the chicken.
  • 2. Bring to a boil, cover with lid, and then turn down to simmer for about an hour, or until chicken can be easily removed from the bones.
  • 3. When chicken is done, remove from the pot, reserving all of the stock.
  • 4. Turn off the burner until after the noodles are made (recipe follows). Remove chicken from bones and cut into small chunks and set aside.
  • 5. For the noodles: Pour flour into a good sized mixing bowl and add softened butter and egg.
  • 6. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste). Begin mixing using your hands, and then add milk.
  • 7. Completely mix dough with your hands until you reach desired consistency (you may need to add a little flour or a little more milk, depending...dough should not be sticky to the touch. If too sticky, add a little flour until just right).
  • 8. Flour your surface, then roll out dough with rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • 9. Using a sharp knife, cut slices the entire way across, and then the other direction, to form square noodles about 1-1/2" square.
  • 10. Bring stock to a rolling boil, add potatoes and carrots, and a handful of the noodles at a time. Stir soup after each addition of noodles to help keep them from sticking together.
  • 11. Cover again with lid, and let cook for about a half hour to 45 minutes, or until noodles are cooked completely through and the vegetables are done.
  • 12. When all is finished, add the chicken once again, to heat through, and serve. (Your broth will thicken up a little after you add your noodles.)
