Every family has a couple of go to comfort dishes, and chicken soup happens to be my personal favorite. My mom would chop up the veggies add tons of chicken and then we'd garnish with lime, cilantro and chips. The combination of salty, tart, and just a little sweet was always divine. Last week when everyone was still sick I decided to cook up a pop of chicken soup. My kids love their soup with noodles so I threw in some egg noodles. Egg noodles how I love you. A make a pile of flour in a bowel and mix in a sprinkle of salt. Then I stir in one egg. Too sticky, add more flour, too dry add another egg. When I have a nice dough I roll it out, cut it into strips and add the noodles to the boiling pot of soup a small handful at a time. They take 10 minutes to prep, 2 minutes to cook, and just a few seconds for my kids to eat.
So you know, Crystal, Nana made these noodles for us and I never learned how. So... you jumped a generation and now make something your Nana made for your kids. Be sure and teach your kids how! :)
