chicken noodle soup - for amber

Dear Amber,

This is how I made that soup:

Chop up and fry until browning and softened:

• 1 big onion or 2 medium.
• 3 or 4 carrots
• 2 or 3 stalks of celery

Add any spices you want like salt, pepper, celery salt, thyme, and cumin.

Heat up:

• 3 quarts of chicken broth (I used organic chicken broth that had 25% or something less sodium than the other organic chicken broth. I'm kind of an organic freak sometimes).
• Add vegetables and boil until completely softened

While the vegetables are boiling, make the noodles! You will need:

• 1 cup of flour
• 1 egg
• A pinch of salt

Mix all together (I had to add water to get everything moist) and roll out on flour. Cut into very thin strips. I put the strips on paper towel on a cookie sheet. Let dry. To quicken this step I heated the oven to the lowest possible temperature and baked the noodles until they were mostly dry. 

Tear meat off a whole, cooked chicken. When the veggies are cooked, add the chicken, add more spices, and add the noodles. The noodles need to boil for 15 mins. 

Enjoy your masterpiece. 

Love, 

Paige

PS this makes a lot of soup so be prepared to eat it all week!
