Chicken Noodle Soup with Fresh Homemade Egg Noodles

homemade-chicken-noodle-soup-homemade-noodles

I wasn’t planning on posting this chicken noodle soup recipe, hence the horrible quality cell phone photos!  Once the family tried it, though– we decided it was probably one of the best soups I have ever made!  Which means I had to share it so I would remember just how I threw it together!  The deep golden broth is rich with seasonings, the chicken ultra tender and flavorful and the fresh homemade noodles are light and fluffy.  You really must make your own noodles – they are well worth the extra effort.

This soup is the perfect comfort food– which is why I made a big cast iron dutch oven full to greet my family as they walked in the door this evening.  Leftovers (if there are any) will keep well in the fridge for a day and they make a lovely lunch.  I hope you and your family enjoy this delicious soup as much as we did!

Fresh Homemade Egg noodle Directions:
  1. Put flour, salt and baking powder into food processor. Pulse twice to combine.
  2. Turn the machine on and drizzle in eggs. Process for 20 seconds - mixture will resemble cornmeal.
  3. Slowly drizzle in milk, hold back a tablespoon or so, to check consistency.
  4. You want a firm, smooth dough.
  5. Remove dough to a lightly floured surface and knead a few turns to make a smoooth ball. Place under a bowl or in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Cut dough in half and roll each half very thin, about 1/16 of an inch. Cut into long thin strips with a knife or noodle cutter. Lightly flour and toss.
  7. Drop fresh noodles into soup when instructed. You may also lay noodles out to dry for 2-3 hours before adding to the soup. You can use a cheesecloth over a cooling wrack or a noodle drying rack to help speed the drying process.
