Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

I was so proud of myself today because I made my first batch of homemade noodles for my soup and they were super easy.   I don't think I will ever use store bought again for this reciepe.  Here goes.  
 chicken breasts or a whole chicken on the bone
carrots
onion
celery
potato
noodles
salt
chicken seasonings
herbs
2 Tbl. olive oil

I don't ever measure so just add more or less of everything depending on how many servings you want.  

Boil the chicken in water and canned chicken stalk until cooked, remove chicken let it cool and then shred.  While the chicken is cooling add all other ingredients except noodles.  Add the chicken back in after it is shredded.  

Noodles
whisk lightly 3 eggs in a bowl add one cup of flour and mix well, keep adding flour until it is thick.  Spread flour on the counter and dump mixture on top.  Knead until smooth and continue to add flour until it is not sticky.  Roll out and then cut into noodles with a pizza cutter.  Let the noodles dry over night if time allows.  If not let them dry as long as possible add to soup 15 minutes before you are ready to eat.  Enjoy!!
