Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chicken (whole or parts with skin and bones)
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 Celery stalks
- 1 large Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 Bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter (melted)
- 10 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
1. In a large stockpot, add the chicken, water, salt, black pepper, bay leaves, chopped parsley, and peeled but whole carrots, celery, onion, and garlic cloves.
Step 2
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 1.5 to 2 hours, skimming off any foam that rises to the top.
Step 3
3. Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, remove it from the pot and set it aside to cool slightly. Strain the broth into a clean pot, discarding the vegetables and bay leaves. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones.
Step 4
4. To make the noodles, combine the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
5. Roll the dough out into a thin sheet (about 1/8 inch thick), then use a sharp knife or pasta cutter to slice it into long, thin strips.
Step 6
6. Bring the strained chicken broth back to a gentle boil and add the noodles. Cook for 7-10 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
Step 7
7. Stir the shredded chicken back into the broth and let it heat through for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 8
8. Ladle the chicken and noodles into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
