My roomates Grandma gave her the perfect Christmas present and we finally put it to good use. Grandma Lewis used a picture book and has turned it in a book of all her favorite recipes. The book started out with just a few in each categorie and each month Madi get 3 or so new recipes in the mail to add to her book.
Since it rained off and all today Madi decided we should make chicken noodle soup. This is a meal I have actually never made so I was excited to learn a new recipe. Especially since this is a recipe Madi grew up loving. The best part about this soup is that it involves making home made noodles. I had always thought making noodles from scrath was a difficult process but I was WRONG. They were super easy and AMAZING! I am looking forward to making noodles from scrath more often.
Chicken Noodle Soup
Noodles
To 4 cups of borth mix one egg to 2 tablespoon milk and 1/2 tsp garlic salt and 3/4 to 1 cup Flour.
Mix all those ingredients together.
Cover an area with flour and roll out dough
Once the dough is fairly thin cut into strips
-Madi used this handy noddle cutting tool...SO COOL-
This noodle recipe can be doubled or tripled depending on the amount of broth.
Broth
4 cups of water
3 celerie sticks
2 cups of carrots
Chicken boloun to taste
Chicken
We used a rotisour chicken to save time. However, If you have the time I am all for boiling chicken and then shredding it (thats how my mommy taught me)
Cook the broth until the veggies are soft. Add the noodles and allow to cook through (8-10 minutes) the thicker they are cut the longer they take. Then add the chicken and allow to get hot. BAM CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP!!!
Madi and I had fun making our soup....We put on my fun aprons (didn't get a picture sorry) jammed out in the kitchen and had a good time! I love to cook....But I love it more when someone else is doing it with me.
The next treats I am looking forward to making from Grandma Lewis's cook book is Pumpkin Brownies. So many ways you can put my two favorite flavors together!
