Homemade Noodle Chicken Noodle Soup...Fast, easy and super yummy! It's my Grandma-in-law Ruth's recipe. She was a professional cook her whole life. |
I boiled up my 3 bone-in chicken breasts first....they make the best broth...or use a whole chicken cup up. |
Here's some of my noodle ingredients....not the parsley...that's just to add to the soup....oops! |
I'm gonna add a little bit of butter to my noodles to make them richer...I hope they stay fluffy! |
I have always LOVED playing in the kitchen since getting my first Easy Bake Oven when I was 5 or 6.
Mix up the melted (cooled) butter with the 2 eggs mixture....whisk away! |
Guess what my little Marisa Belle is getting for Christmas? You guessed it. Her own Easy Bake Oven! Won't her mommy just LOVE that? Yeah. She's gonna be doing the cooking with her... I hope she doesn't hate me. I just LOVED my little blue Easy Bake Oven when I was about her age.... |
So after studying 4 different recipes, I'm going to add 1 tablespoons of melted butter to the 2 eggs and add 1/4 teaspoon baking powder to the 2 1/2 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup milk. Mix it all up in a bowl and let your dough hook knead for 3 or 4 minutes.
I'm going to add 2 bullion cubes to my broth for a bit more flavor |
Roll out your dough for your homemade noodles in a long rectangle...I'm shooting for 4 inch strips.... |
Roll them AS THIN as you can get them....they always plump up when boiling them.... |
I use all these extra strips too...they just aren't as pretty as my neater noodles....snicker.... |
I just use a pizza cutter to roll out my dough....then set them out on a paper towel to dry for an hour or two.... |
. Most recipes call for hours of drying. Again, I never wait that long, but I try to wait an hour and a bit laying them on a dry towel while I chop my veggies and debone and cut up my hot boiled chicken for the soup.
Saute your onions a bit before adding to the broth... |
I thought this cute and colorful bowtie macaroni would be fun for a Christmas brunch macaroni salad with artichoke hearts... |
I'll post a great recipe soon using this cute stuff! Only $1.50 a bag at Fresh Market!!
I think this would be a great neighborhood gift,
maybe with some cute salad tongs to go with it for a favorite neighbor?
My finished Chicken Noodle Soup...Yum! |
Directions
- Note: You COULD drop them into soup to cook, but I find that it will suck up all of your broth and not leave you with as much liquid. So I'd recommend boiling them in salt water till they are fluffy and done. Then add to the soup.
So homemade Chicken noodles and soup takes me a good 90 minutes to make. They are worth the extra effort once in awhile. And they make a nice soup to freeze for a cold, snowy, winter day when hot soup is exactly what you'd love to come home to.... mmmmm....
Chicken Noodle Soup homemade is really so Delicious! |
And healthy too! And low calorie too! What's not to love? |
And don't ya love my Grandbabies wearing their Christmas shirts? Too cute! |
Chicken Soup Recipe
2 1/2 to 3 cups of shredded or diced white chicken meat
1 cup celery
1/2 to 1 cup baby carrots sliced
1 small onion diced (saute a bit in butter till clear)
2-21/2 quarts water (use the boiled chicken water and add 2 to 3 bullion cubes)
1 teaspoon Johnny's seasoning
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper (add to taste)
dash of pepper
Boil the chicken (I used 3 breasts with rib meat attached and bones attached) Add 2 bullion cubes. Chop veggies and add and boil on medium for 7 -10 minutes or until tender. Take dried egg noodles and add 1/2 to 3/4 of the recipe to a salt water boiling pot. You could freeze half the recipe for another time. When they are fluffy and done, dry them on a paper towel and then add them to the soup. Season. Then enjoy!

Thanks for sharing!! I remember Grandma's noodles and always wanted to know her recipe. I am totally going to try this! AFTER I get through with my diet, of course! :)
Yes, she was such a good cook wasn't she? We should have collected all her recipes. All those years she was a cook in the hospital I bet she had a few tricks up her sleeve!
