Homemade noodles recipe

So you can make the soup but now you need the noodles. Yes, you can use some other noodles if you wish. Egg noodles or if you can find the noodles that look like home made they work pretty close too.

Noodle recipe:
1/4 c milk
2 eggs
2 c flour
1/4 tsp crushed sage
3/4 garlic salt

Beat all your ingredients together except for the flour which you will add 2 cups to make a stiff dough. Cover and let rest for about 10 minutes. Divide dough in half and on a flour surface roll out your dough.


I use a small rolling pin and cut my dough into fourths just because I have a smaller working space. If you have a larger area to work then dividing in half is the way to go. Next I use a pizza cutter to cut slices to make my noodles. Cut one way then the other depending on how long you want to make your noodles.


Next take your noodles and lay them on a cookie sheet or some kind of flat surface to put your tray in the oven on warm so they just start to get crusty or dried...not hard though.


While my noodles are in the oven I usually take the meat off the bone of the drumsticks at this time and do all that. Once the noodles are ready get your stock pot of broth boiling. Add the noodles and let them boil until they swell up and are soft then add your chicken. Now you can keep cooking and add you carrots/celery or transfer over to a LARGE crock pot.

Now you can cut up your celery and carrots unless you get them pre-cut while your drumsticks cook down or you can do them at any time. You can add them to the mix in the stock pot and continue cooking or add everything to the crock pot and let it simmer on high for the day until veggies are tender. On the stove top this all goes faster. If you pre cook your veggies then once you add everything together and boil for awhile your soup is ready.


I say experiment and try out what different things work out for you. Have fun cooking and enjoy your soup !!
