Homemade Noodle Soup
Noodle soup is just right for lunch, and the chicken broth is both wholesome and delicious! It's a wonderful recipe for the whole family, built on a from-scratch chicken broth. The homemade noodles are the heart of it — there's really no substitute; swap in store-bought pasta or vermicelli and you've got an entirely different dish. This Russian-style noodle soup is considered comforting, restorative food, gentle enough for anyone who's under the weather or recovering, thanks to that nourishing broth. Use a good-quality chicken, whole or a half, and save the cooked meat to use in other recipes.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Simmer a broth from the chicken, then lift out the meat.
-
Step 2:
Finely chop the onion and carrot.
-
Step 3:
Add them to a skillet with the butter and sauté until well browned. Stir into the broth and bring to a boil. Once it's boiling, drop in the noodles, season with salt and pepper, and cook about 20 minutes over medium heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs into each bowl just before serving.
-
Step 4:
Make the noodles: mound the flour on the counter, make a well in the center, and crack in the egg. Adding cold water a little at a time, knead a stiff dough.
-
Step 5:
Let the dough rest about 20 minutes. Roll it out thin, dust with flour, and cut into long strips about 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) wide.
-
Step 6:
Stack the strips and slice them crosswise into noodles. To shake off the extra flour, drop the noodles into a sieve and give it a good toss.
