Nothing tastes better to me on a cold day, than chicken noodle soup. Especially if it's homemade. And even more especially if there's homemade noodles. It's the perfect comfort food.

Chicken Noodle Soup

This recipe was handed down to me by my Mom and it was handed down to her by my Grandma. It's a classic that I now make often in the winter months.

Update: This recipe was originally published on 11/8/2012. I have updated the pictures and separated it into two posts. Click here for noodle recipe --> step-by-step guide to making  noodles. This post is now the chicken soup part of the recipe.

Begin by making the noodles. They need to dry for several hours so it's best to start them early in the day.

After I make the noodles I start chopping veggies. You will need about 2 cups of chopped carrots and celery, and 1/2 - 1 onion, chopped. {I love the flavor onion brings, but I'm not a huge fan of the texture of onions, so I use 1/2 an onion. My mom uses a whole onion.}

I like to prep the veggies ahead of time, so I chop them up and stick them in the fridge.

One thing that I do to speed up the process is to use already cooked chicken. A lot of Sundays we'll roast a chicken. We always have lots of leftovers. I place them in a freezer bag and pull it out for other meals.

 You might find that you need more chicken bouillon than the recipe calls for if you use precooked chicken.  I think I added 6 t. or so when I made it. If you want more of an authentic broth, then boil raw chicken in water for an hour or so. Remove chicken and cut in smaller chunks.

This is a time consuming, although fairly easy recipe. To make it easier, I like to make the noodles and chop the veggies right after lunch. I stick the veggies in the fridge until it's time to start the soup.

This relieves a lot of stress, since all the prep work is done while most of the kids are at school. When it's time to start the soup, just fill a pan with water, add your veggies, spices and precooked chicken and let it simmer. It will probably take at least an hour to cook the veggies through.

Then add your noodles and cook another 15-20 minutes.

Instructions

1. Fill a pot with water and boil chicken until cooked through. Remove, cut up, and place back in broth. {Skip this step if using precooked chicken, but add some chicken bouillon for flavor}
