Preparation

Step 1

In a large kettle, cook chicken in water. Cool broth and skim off fat. Skin and bone chicken and cut into bite-size pieces; add to broth with remaining ingredients except noodles. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Meanwhile, for noodles, place flour on a work surface and make a well in the center. Stir together remaining ingredients; pour into well. Working the mixture with your hands, fold flour into wet ingredients until dough can be rolled into a ball. Knead for 5-6 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. On a floured surface, roll dough out to a square, 1/16 to 1/8 in. thick, and cut into 1/4-in. wide strips. Cook noodles in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes or until done. Drain and add to soup just before serving.
