My mom made this for our family while I was growing up and I always looked forward to it every year when winter was in season.  The best part of the soup was the homemade noodles. I loved them as a kid and my kids totally love them now.  There is something special about homemade noodles in homemade chicken noodle soup!

This picture was take after we had already devoured most of it... when I make it, the pot is totally full.

Recipe:


1 Roasted Chicken (Costco or any Grocery Store)
Celery
Onion
Chicken Bouillon (if needed)
Carrots
3-5 Cups Flour
4-5 eggs

Soup:

Remove most of the chicken from the roasted chicken and set aside.
Put the whole chicken into a large pot and fill with water totally covering the chicken.
Slice the onion in half  and put in pot.
Also put 3-4 celery stalks in with onion and chicken bones in the pot.
Bring to boil then reduce heat to low and let it boil for a few hours. (sometimes I boil it all day if I am busy)
strain juices off of the boiled chicken bones, onion and celery. You may separate the chicken from the bones if you want more chicken in the soup. Then throw away the bones onion and celery. with the strained juices in the pot add the previously separated chicken, chopped carrots, new sliced celery ( not the boiled celery from before) and noodles to the soup.  Enjoy!

Noodles:

Beat the eggs in large bowl. add flour one cup at a time to form soft dough.  Spread lots of flour out on counter then put half of the dough on the generously floured counter.  Roll it out as thin as possible adding flour to the top of the dough so it doesn't stick to the rolling pin. Roll the dough up and then slice it the thickness you want you noodles.  unroll them and add them to the boiling soup.  Repeat with other half of dough.  After all the noodles have been added to the soup and boiled for 5 minutes, it is ready to serve.
