1 celery rib, cut into 4 large chunks
1 large carrot, cut into 4 large chunks
1 onion, peeled and cut into 4 large chunks

Optional garnish: chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme

GRANDMA'S CHICKEN AND NOODLES



Grandma's Chicken and Noodles image

This is how my Grandma Alvie made it. I tend to add more bullion and carrots and potatoes but this is served best over Mashed potatoes with a side of corn on the cob. :) adjust recipe according to number of people by adding more eggs and flour accordingly. 3 eggs is enough for two people but add an egg or two per extra...

Provided by Dana Clark

Categories     Other Soups

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 15

NOODLES
3 eggs
3 c all purpose flour
3 Tbsp salt and pepper
SOUP
5 chicken leg quarters
10 chicken bouillon cubes
3 Tbsp salt and pepper
OPTIONAL FOR ONE POT MEAL
4 c carrots, chopped
6 c potatoes, diced
5 dash(es) garlic powder with parsley
4 dash(es) onion powder
2 pinch oregano, dried
5 chicken bouillon cubes

Steps:

  • 1. Start Soup by adding leg quarters, 10 bullion cubes and salt and pepper to taste. (add the additional seasonings and cubes if you are making the one pot meal.) Boil keeping your broth level with 3/4th of your soup pot. When you can poke the chicken with a fork and the meat falls off strain broth. Return broth to pan and clean the meat only from the chicken quarters. Return meat to pot. This is the point where you can add your additional veggies if you wanted the one pot meal option.
  • 2. While soup is cooking chicken to perfection... Batter eggs in a large bowl until completely mixed whites and yolks. Stir in salt and pepper. Mix flour in until dough is only slightly tacky but can be handled without sticking to you. This makes for a solid noodle. You can roll this dough out flat on top of flour with a floured rolling pin and cut to slightly larger noodles with a pizza cutter or you can cut it into shape or dip out small teaspoon sized dough lumps and drop them into the soup once your chicken has been returned to the pot.
  • 3. add the noodles or dumplings in slowly while stirring the soup making sure they do not stick while cooking. after all the dough has been added cook for an additional ten to fifteen minutes to your preference. Serve over mashed potatoes with fried chicken or have the one pot version and enjoy!!

GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLES



Grandma's Homemade Chicken Noodles image

This is an inexpensive meal for the whole family. Nice thick, homemade egg noodles in a chicken broth. My grandmother and mother both made this all the time when I was growing up and it was a household favorite.

Provided by George Cooks

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 -6 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 lb chicken
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
garlic
salt
pepper
chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • The chicken can be whole pieces or bite sized whatever you prefer. I like to cut chicken breast into bite sized pieces.
  • In a large soup pot boil chicken in water or chicken broth. Add garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
  • While chicken is boiling combine flour, salt and eggs into a large mixing bowl. Start with a 1/4 cup of milk and add more milk or flour to get a pie crust type consistency.
  • Roll out dough on a floured surface as thin as you like remembering that the noodles will probably double in thickness when cooking (Thinner the better in my mind). Cut the noodles with a pizza or noodle cutter. I typically cut them into 1/2 inch by 5 inch pieces.
  • If the chicken is finished cooking then add the noodles into the boiling broth and cook until done. (If they are not finished you will see a white center, the noodles turn yellow when cooked) Takes about 5 minutes to cook at the thickness that I roll the noodles.
  • Add the worcestershire sauce and butter.
  • Serve in a bowl or plate depending on if you want lots of broth or not and I recommend sprinkling parmesean cheese over the top when finished.

  • Use a good quality egg noodles. The egg noodles will absorb the flavor of the broth and chicken, so make sure to use a good quality brand.
