Chicken Noodle Soup

 
 
I absolutely love this recipe...my mom has always made this homemade chicken noodle soup and it always stuck as a favorite comport food for me. With a few tweaks I have made it clean!
 
 
 
Ingredients:
 
Soup:
3-4 Carrots sliced
3-4 Chopped celery stalks
1 Onion either white or yellow Chopped
1 32oz. Organic Free Range chicken broth low sodium
1 Cup water
Sea salt and pepper to taste
2-3 Cooked skinless boneless chicken breast (cook in advance)

 
Noodles:
 
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
3-4 TBS water (depending on your elevation)
2 tsp. Extra virgin olive oil or grape seed oil
1 Egg
 
 
 
 
Chop up carrots, celery, and onion. To speed up the process I boiled the carrots and celery together in a separate pot while making the noodles.
 
 
Once the carrots and celery are soft now is time to add everything together. In a larger pan add the chicken broth , cut up chicken, and onions. Bring to a boil.


 
Now is time to make the noodles. They dry out quickly so we hand the pot of chicken broth ready to add them at this point. I have a pasta machine that has measuring instructions for making noodles. If you have a pasta machine follow the measuring instructions for your machine for amounts to add to make pasta.
 
If you don't have a pasta machine you can make them by hand.  Mix all ingredients together. Roll out pasta to desired thickness. You can see from my picture the thickness my machine makes them. Take a pizza cutter and cut into long strips. then cut strips to desired pasta lengths.

 
Add the carrots and celery to the chicken broth. Next add in the noodles. Let boil for a few minutes to cook the noodles. They will cook very quickly. Add salt and pepper to taste.

 
Enjoy! Hope you love this as much as I do!
