This is the same recipe I've always used (just want home to double check my recipe, so I looked this up to find a similar one), but I use milk instead of water...fantastic!!! Also, if you sprinklea thick layer of flour on top then roll up the noodle mixture before cutting, then cut, you can get thinner noodles if you want. Also, I lay the mixer out for a couple hours to dry...evenly on both sides. They hold up better I think.
Won first prize at a soup cook off with this one year. My kids love it took me awhile to come close to "gramma's" soup even with her recipe :)
This was the perfect recipe for a cold winter day. Noodles turned out perfect, used lots and lots of flour when rolling them out. Thinner noodles is the key. Be patient with your roller as the dough will appear to be tough but worth the roll out time. I rolled out the dough a cup or so at a time. The extra flour on the noodles will thicken the broth. I cooked the noodles half way before dropping the chicken back in for the last 10 mins. The only additions I made was chopped onion, garlic, carrots, bay leaf for depth. Family loved it!
Five stars for the noodles alone. Super simple and delicious. I had great results cutting the dough with my pizza cutter. I liked that the noodles weren't completely uniform were clearly homemade and were more rustic. They puff up a lot when cooked so I would err on the side of cutting them pretty thin vs the recommended size or bigger. I also thought the noodles were even way better the next day after they sat overnight in the broth. Texture was incredible. Pillowy but still a bit firm. These are too simple for excuses.
Excellent noodles! Exactly as we like them... hearty and thick! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Regarding the noodles...needed 9T of water not 2. But other than that...they are fantastic!
I have been making this recipe all my life. I remember rolling, cutting, and unrolling the noodles with mom when I was a little girl. Now it's cooking on my stove as I type this. Kids came down sick and this is ALWAYS the big request! They refuse to eat any other chicken soup. I do lay out the noodles 5-6 hours to dry before cooking. They hold up better while being boiled. This even freezes well in freezer bags when illness hits quick. I just run the frozen bag under warm water to loosen, then dump in the crockpot to heat on low for a few hours.
I used 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts and also added carrots onions and celery for color. My broth didn't look as thick as what was in the picture but it still turned out delicious. I had to use 6 tbsp of water for the noodles in order to get it to form into a ball. It was hard to roll the dough thin enough. I ended up rolling it in smaller pieces so I could get the noodles thinner.
I made this as per the instructions, although I threw in a medium sized yellow onion, (half chopped half sliced paper thin, for texture and flavor), half a bunch of cilantro leaves, diced, three garlic cloves minced, and some celery, chopped. Oh and fresh cracked pepper, I'm sure you will all season as you like, but this came out amazing. Good luck!
