Chicken soup with homemade noodles

March 10th, 2007 at 12:45 am

Last night's dinner was a chicken seasoned with Cook's Choice
Brisket Rub and roasted with potatoes, carrots, and onions. We also had black eyed peas with smoked turkey leg leftover from lunch. The chicken I roasted served me, DH, my mom and stepfather with plenty left.

So tonight I used some of the leftover chicken, the vegetables, and a little of the juice mixed with some broth and seasonings and made a nice chicken soup. To it I added some homemade noodles and it was great!

Here's a picture of a bowl of the soup:

DH didn't want any but I had a bowl and it was tasty and very filling. I love homemade noodles and they're so easy to make. Here's my recipe:

1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp milk
1 cup flour

Mix egg, salt and milk; enough flour to make stiff dough. Roll thin, let stand 20 minutes. Roll up and slice 1/8" thick; spread to dry for about 2 hours. Drop in boiling broth and cook 10 minutes.

I don't worry about the noodles being perfect as long as they're savory. I love these noodles with some fresh basil and ground pepper added to the dough. They're even great with some cheese added to them.

So, if you get bored and want something different to do with your leftover chicken and veggies, try this! You won't be sorry.

    So glad to "meet" someone else that makes noodles from scratch. I absolutely love them..........too much I'm afraid. They are not on my new plan......so I enjoyed just looking at them here! Smile

    Contrary1, what plan are you on? I make them often with soy flour which makes them low in carb count. They're also good made with whole wheat flour. There aren't many of us who make homemade noodles anymore, huh?

    Househopeful, glad you like the picture. They were very good!

    My own Plan............. Not eating anything I tend to overeat. I've pretty much cut out any flour, most sugars and doing well with this. Pasta of any kind is difficult for me to stick to any kind of normal portion...........so I'm steering clear for now.

    I make all my own noodles, too. They taste so much better. I just use an egg, 100% whole wheat flour and water. I'll have to try your recipe. Of course, I cheat. I have a pasta maker from my less than frugal days, but even so, it is one of the best investments I ever made as I can make any shape of noodle I want, including macaroni and penne. It even has a plate for making bow ties and one for making wagon wheels.

    Soup looks delicious, but as I was looking at it I thought something was wrong. I always put parsley flakes or fresh parsley in mine, so I was looking for the little green specks! Do you ever use parsley?

    I'm not real big on parsley myself. In the summer, I'll have fresh parsley and basil though for my soup. Smile It was missing green thingies, though lol

    This is awesome way to get rid of the leftover turkey. I myself am going to make it for dinner. You all are right about the homemade noodles they do taste so much better than store bought.
