Grandma’s Chicken Soup with Homemade Noodles

Description

This is my beloved Grandmother’s recipe. I have made noodles from scratch mixing, rolling, and cutting by hand. Today I use a dough mixer and pasta cutter to save time.

Ingredients

  • 1 gallon chicken stock
  • 4 bone-in chicken breast halves
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water, or as needed
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Bring chicken stock to a boil; cook chicken breasts at a boil until no longer pink in the center
  2. 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken
  3. cool
  4. and cut meat from bone; keep chicken stock at a low simmer.
  5. Mix flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt together using the dough hook attachment in the bowl of a stand mixer on Low; add eggs and water
  6. 1 tablespoon at time
  7. until dough holds together.
  8. Split dough in half. Roll 1 dough half on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into noodles 2 to 3-inches long x 1/4-inch wide using a sharp knife dipped in flour or a fettuccine pasta cutter. Repeat with other dough half.
  9. Return chicken to the simmering stock; add noodles. Season stock with black pepper and 1 pinch salt. Cook soup until noodles are cooked through
  10. 15 to 25 minutes.
