3 tsp. Parsley flakes
Fresh Homemade Egg Noodles
2 cups of unbleached al-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs, whisked well
1 cup milk
Instructions
Chicken Stock Directions:
Place all of the Stock ingredients into a large pot or dutch oven.
Bring to a boil over high heat, turn down to a simmer. Cover and continue to simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken in just cooked through.
Remove chicken from stock. Discard the chicken skin. Remove meat from bones and shred into bite-sized pieces. Place bones back into stock. Cover and continue to simmer for 45 minutes.
Remove pan from heat and carefully strain through a cheesecloth lined colander, reserving stock.
Place stock back into pot.
Soup Directions:
Place all of the Soup ingredients into reserved stock. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer 20-25 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
Return shredded chicken to pot and add the chopped bok choy leaves.
Bring to a very low boil, gently stir in the mushrooms and the Fresh Homemade Egg Noodles (dried or not). Simmer for 4-8 minutes, until noodles are tender and cooked through.
Serve in large bowls!
Fresh Homemade Egg noodle Directions:
Put flour, salt and baking powder into food processor. Pulse twice to combine.
Turn the machine on and drizzle in eggs. Process for 20 seconds - mixture will resemble cornmeal.
Slowly drizzle in milk, hold back a tablespoon or so, to check consistency.
You want a firm, smooth dough.
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.
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.
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.
