Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

My mom used to make this for me when I was a kid. Warm and delicious memories.

1 whole chicken
2-4 carrots chopped
2-3 celery stalks chopped
1 med onion chopped
1 chicken bouillon cube
homemade noodles

Place Chicken inside of pot. cover with water plus 1/2 inch. Add bouillon cube. Bring to boil then simmer for 1-2 hours, or until meat falls off the bone.

Remove meat from water and add noodles one at a time if they are still moist. Then shred meat and return to broth. Now slice and chop vegetables. Add to the soup and let cook for 1/2- 3/4 an hour, until veggies are soft

Homemade Noodles
3 eggs
2 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
milk

Stir eggs and salt together. Add flour bit by bit until kneading consistency, then continue to knead in remaining flour. If it feels dry add just a sprinkle of milk and knead in.

Sprinkle flour onto clean counter top. Place dough atop and begin to roll with rolling pinto desired depth (keep in mind they will expand while cooking) Now cut into rows and then strips. Repeat until all dough is used.

***For a fun treat you can use a pastry brush and brush on a light layer of butter and then sprinkle with a sugar and cinnamon sugar mixture and toast in oven for just a couple of minutes.***
