Homemade Noodles and Chicken




Homemade noodles give a new meaning to homemade. The greatest thing for a cold ever. I made these after having baked chicken for dinner one night and taking the drippings skin and bones and simmering to make a thick broth. I put the broth in jars in the fridge and the next morning made a batch of homemade noodles. 

You can find the recipe for the noodles HERE on yesterdays post.
Then take half an onion chopped and saute in olive oil in the bottom of a pot until clear
Then add your broth( I had 2 quarts) in with the onions. Also add 1 teaspoon dried thyme, rosemary, parsley, dried celery and half teaspoon black pepper.
Bring to a boil and drop noodles into boiling broth and spices. Do not stir just take your wooden spoon and make sure they are submerged. Allow to simmer until soft.
Add 2 cups chopped leftover chicken to pot and allow to simmer for 5 minutes to heat through. 
I served mine warm with sides of smothered mustard greens
crusty homemade bread
and baked sweet potatoes.

And the best thing is that everything was produced on this farm except the flour for the noodles and bread. That sentence alone gave me the greatest sense of accomplishment you can imagine.
