Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (4-5 pound) whole hen or chicken
2 stalks of celery with leaves
1 medium onion, cut into large chunks
2 carrots, cut into large chunks
2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped carrot
1/3 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons chicken base (like Better than Bouillon)
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Dash poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 (8 ounce) package fresh sliced mushrooms, optional
1 (24-ounce) package frozen egg noodles (like Reames or Grandma's) or dried Kluski noodles
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • For the stock, place chicken in a large stockpot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, skim off foam, and add celery, onion, carrots and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour.
  • Remove the chicken and set aside to cool. Once cooled enough to handle, remove the meat tearing into bite sized pieces and discard the bones and skin. Strain but reserve the broth, discarding the vegetables. Return the stock to the pot.
  • For the stew, add the chopped onion, carrots and celery to the stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add the chicken base, pepper, poultry seasoning and thyme. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and noodles. Combine the evaporated milk and cornstarch to make a slurry; stir in. Bring up to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for another 15 minutes.
  • Add the shredded chicken to the pot, simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes or until chicken is warmed through, noodles are tender and sauce is thickened.
  • Taste and adjust salt as needed.
  • May be left on a low simmer to reach desired thickness if stirred occasionally, which is what I usually do.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Chicken

Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
4 stalks celery, diced
celery tops
1 carrot, shredded
1 onion, halved - unpeeled
ground black pepper to taste
3 (32 fluid ounce) containers chicken broth
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine chicken, celery and their tops, carrot, onion and its peel, and pepper. Pour broth over and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender and falls from the bone, about 45 minutes.
  • While chicken is cooking, make noodles. In a large bowl, combine eggs, water, oil, salt and enough of the flour to make a stiff dough.
  • Strain chicken stock, reserving meat, celery and carrots. Pull meat from bones and return strained stock and meat, celery and carrots to pot. Bring to a boil. Make noodles by cutting dough from a broth-dipped spoon or using scissors or your fingers to make small, chickpea sized, noodles and dropping them in the boiling water. When the noodles rise to the surface they are done.
