Soup Sunday: Chicken Noodle

This past Sunday was the perfect weather for soup.

Since the Broncos played early, I had plenty of time to make chicken noodle. This recipe is easy once your noodles are done. You just throw everything into the pot and let it cook for a couple of hours. Since it's on the stove, a weekend is the best day to make it since you can't leave the house.
 

 

To make your noodles:

In a large bowl, mix together:

2 cups of flour

1 tablespoon of salt

1/2 cup of water

3 egg yolks, 1 whole egg

• Mix it together with a wooden spoon.
• Add in another 1/2 cup of flour and begin mixing with your hands.
• Separate the dough into smaller portions to roll out on the counter.
• Make sure you have a lot of flour on the counter, rolling pin, and your hands.
• Cut the noodles into THIN strips.
• Separate them out, laying them flat on parchment paper to dry.
• I made my noodles around 11, and didn't toss them into my soup until around 5. I like to let my dry out for a long time but at least two hours is good. 

 

To make your soup:

• In a large stockpot on the stove, bring 2 large boxes of chicken stock and 1 cup of water to a low boil.
• Add in chopped carrots and celery (However much you want. I use about 2 carrots and 3 celery.) Bring that to a simmer.
• Add in 1 large Rotisserie chicken (or 2 small ones) and salt and pepper to taste. Cook on the lowest setting for a few hours.
• 30 minutes before serving, add you noodles

That's it! We like to eat our chicken noodle soup over mashed potatoes. This makes a lot of soup so I have leftovers for lunch all week! Enjoy!
