 Ingredients List

  • Grandma”™s Noodles
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 whole large egg
  • 4 egg yolks
  • Water
  • ===Chicken and Noodles=====
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 32-ounce containers low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 large onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Grandma”™s Noodles
  • 2 large carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • Vegetables of choice.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

 Directions

In a large bowl, or on the counter top, measure out the flour and salt. In a small bowl, beat together the egg and yolks. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the egg mixture in the center. Using a fork or your fingers, start gradually bringing in the flour from the edges and mix until the dough comes together. If necessary, add water, a tablespoon at a time, to help the mixture form a ball of dough.

Turn the dough ball out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and soft, about 5 minutes. (One recipe said this dough benefits from a good long kneading.) Wrap the dough in plastic and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough ball in half. Roll out each half on a floured surface until the dough is about 1/8-inch thick. If the dough is difficult to roll out that thinly, just cover the flattened dough with plastic and let it sit for a few minutes to relax, and then continue rolling.

Roll the flattened noodle dough up into a loose log. Slice the log into 1/8 to 1/4-inch strips to create the noodles. All the noodles to sit and dry until you are ready to cook, or allow them to dry completely before storing. (I keep them in the freezer.)

Place the chicken, broth, onion, thyme, and bay leaf into a large pot. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the chicken is done, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Add the remaining ingredients and bring back to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the noodles are tender, about 30 minutes. (The time will vary depending on the thickness of the noodles.) Meanwhile, dice up the cooked chicken. When the noodles are ready, add the chicken back to the pot. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

For a thicker broth, mix 3 tablespoons of flour with water until smooth. Pour it into the pot, a little at a time, and stir until you reach the desired thickness. It needs to come to a boil to become thick, so just add a little at a time, bring to a boil, and if it”™s not thick enough, add a little more.
