I wish this blog had smell-o-vision. My house smells amazing, and I have one happy family tonight. Get ready to enjoy one of my most requested meals... Everyone asks me for the recipe! It is seriously the best homemade chicken noodle soup you will ever have.
{Note: This is a double batch and makes a lot of soup. We like to have leftovers for a couple days' worth of lunches!}
Ingredients
- 1 bag of carrots
- whole cut-up chicken
- 1 carton low sodium chicken stock or broth
- 16 chicken bouillon cubes
- a couple shakes of salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup poultry seasoning
...and for the noodles...
- 4 cups unbleached flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 6 egg yolks
- 2 whole eggs
- 1/4-1/2 cup water
Directions
- Boil chicken in a large stockpot with 16 cups of water. (We use a 12 qt. stockpot, and it works perfectly.)
- Remove the chicken {keeping the broth in the pot on high heat} and pull apart. Set aside.
- Add the chicken stock or broth, as well as bouillon cubes, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Stir a few times, and allow bouillon to dissolve as you move on to step four.
- Wash, peel, and cut carrots. {You may wish to add celery and onion as well. We leave that out in our house.}
- Add carrots and chicken to the stockpot. Cover pot and allow to boil until carrots are done.
- Make the noodles.
- Mix eggs and egg yolks together in a small bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, salt, eggs. Add water in a few tablespoons at a time. The amount of water needed will vary. Knead dough with hands. The dough should be moist {not ooey gooey sticky} and all ingredients incorporated.
- Roll out to desired thickness on a floured cutting board, and cut into strips.
- Add strips to boiling soup. Noodles will float when done.
- When noodles are done, cover the stockpot. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes.
- Taste test the soup, and add more poultry seasoning and/or pepper {not salt} if needed.
We like our noodles on the thick side. They are sooooo delicious!
Tip: I keep empty spaghetti sauce jars and mason jars in the cupboard to store this in smaller batches in the fridge, and also to give jars of soup to sick friends/family/church members/new moms/etc.

oh my goodness.. when I saw the photo of your soup I thought it was mine!!! I use the frozen "Reames noodles" (our large grocery store Publix carries them, not sure all do!) that are like long rectangle dumplings instead of traditional noodles because I love the thick texture of the "dumplings". It inspired me to make a pot today!!! Thank you for sharing, and inspiring on so many levels! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever heard of Reames noodles, but I do LOVE a noodle that's more like a dumpling. The homemade noodles are the best part of this recipe. Mmmm mmmm mmmm :) Thanks for dropping by! Stop back for a visit soon!
DeleteI love homemade chicken noodle soup. This is a great recipe. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Krista! I don't usually like soup, but this I could eat at least once a week :)
DeleteOh this sounds perfect for healing sick bodies! Someone really needs to get on that smell-o-vision thing ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is a go-to recipe when we have sickies in the house :) And someone definitely needs to make smell-o-vision for the internet and tv! Theatres and places like Disney World can do it, so the technology is there. Spread the Disney magic, people! LOL {Can you imagine how much it would cost. Ugh.}
DeleteI have never made my own noodles before. I have GOT to try this recipe! I know my family will love it.
