Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed We grilled our chicken, but cook anyway you'd like
- 1-2 tablespoons Custom Soup Base Chicken Paste
- Variable carrots, onions, celery, and potatoes cut into pieces (no specific amount, just what feels good)
- To taste salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3 eggs
- dash salt
Instructions
- Place water and Custom Soup Base in a large stock pot. Fill water about 1/2 way. Add soup base one tablespoon at a time until desired taste is achieved. Stir completely. Allow water to boil.
- Cut veggies into bite sized pieces. Add carrots and other veggies that need longer to cook into pot of water. Bring to a simmer.
- Add in chicken and remaining veggies and continue to simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- While the soup simmers, make the egg noodles. Place flour in a mound on the counter top. Make a small well in the mound and crack three eggs into the well.
- Now, use a fork to slowly whisk the flour and eggs together. You will not need to incorporate all the flour, so just mix until a ball of dough forms.
- When the dough has formed, use your hands to knead the dough.
- Wrap the dough loosely with plastic wrap and allow to set for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile prepare a second pot of water to cook the noodles. Fill medium pot 1/2 way with water and sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of salt and 3 tablespoons of oil into the water. Bring water to a boil.
- On a clean surface, roll out dough and cut into slender strips. Noodles will expand when cooked, so keep this in mind.
- Place strips into the boiling water one at a time and cook for 3-5 minutes.
- When noodles are cooked, add to pot of soup and allow to simmer for a couple minutes. Add seasoning if needed and serve warm.
