Recipe Summary Comforting Chicken Noodle Soup
A combination of several recipes I've made over the years to make this warm, comforting soup. Great for warm days, sick days, or just any day. I sometimes serve this with mashed potatoes as well! The more flour on the pasta from rolling it out, the thicker your soup will be.Ingredients | Southern Comfort Ingredients Fruit10 cups water1 leek, halved lengthwise1 carrot, halved1 (3 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns2 bone-in chicken breast halves, skin removed2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour⅛ teaspoon salt2 eggs, beaten1 tablespoon butter⅓ cup milk, or as needed2 chicken bouillon cubes, crumbled3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger¾ cup peeled and sliced carrots1 cup sliced celery¼ cup cornstarch¼ cup cold waterDirectionsPour 10 cups of water into a large soup pot over high heat with the leek, halved carrot, 3-inch piece of ginger, and peppercorns.Bring to a boil, turn heat to medium-low, and place chicken breasts into the brothCover the pot with a lid and simmer the mixture until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 20 to 30 minutes.While broth is simmering, whisk flour and salt together in a bowl; beat in the eggs, butter, and enough milk to make a stiff but workable dough.Knead the dough in the bowl until smooth and slightly springy, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl, cover with a cloth, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.Roll the noodle dough out on a floured surface to desired thickness (1/4- to 1/8-inch thick); cut into strips.Remove chicken breasts, transfer them to a plate, and allow to cool. When cool, remove the bones and shred the meat with a fork.Strain and retain the broth; discard spent leek, halved carrot, ginger chunk, and peppercorns.Place strained broth into a large soup pot, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in bouillon cubes, 3 tablespoons of chopped ginger, 3/4 cup sliced carrots, and celery until the bouillon has dissolved. Simmer until the carrots are tender, about 30 minutes.Gently stir in the noodles, a few at a time. Return broth to a simmer and cook until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.Whisk cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water until smooth; stir half the mixture into the soup and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. If thicker soup is desired, stir in remaining cornstarch mixture. Mix in the chicken to serve.Info | Southern Comfort Ingredients Fruitprep:
