Hearty Shaker Soup
By cwyorkiex3
There was no such thing as a "little" chicken soup in Grandma's house. She always made a large batch of soup and froze the leftovers in single-serving containers. That way, we had convenient, instant meals later in the week.
Ingredients
- 13 cups chicken broth, divided
- 1/4 cup dry vermouth, optional
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 (12-ounce) package egg noodles
- 1 cup thinly sliced celery (about 2 medium stalks)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken
