Brick Oven's Chicken Noodle Soup
This recipe is supposed to be like Brick Oven's and it comes pretty close. Mom even called and got the ingredients when she made it. Surprisingly there wasn't any secret concoctions in it! Just plain old Chicken Noodle Soup. Today was really chilly and nice outside so it put me in the mood to make it, and I wanted to have something fun to post to the blog. Like Mom, I don't really measure so I'll give approximates but you can add more or less to taste.
Fill a large pot 2/3 full with water
Add 2 Large chicken Breasts (boneless and skinless)
4-5 Tbsp. Chicken bullion (may need to add more later or add water later if too salty)
5-6 stalks of Celery chopped
1 Onion chopped
Large handful of Baby carrots sliced
1/2 tsp. Pepper
A few dashes of Garlic Salt or Seasoning Salt to taste
Once all above ingredients have been added let simmer for 1-2 hours until chicken is very tender. Remove Chicken, cool and then tear chicken into peices, add back into soup. Let the soup simmer while you make the noodles.
(the noodle recipe is straight from Better Homes and Gardens)
2 Cups Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 Egg Yolks
1 Egg
1/3 cup water
1 tsp Olive oil
In large mixing bowl stir together 1 3/4 cups of the flour and the salt. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture. In a small mixing bowl, combine egg yolks, egg, water, and oil. Add to dry mixture, mix well. Sprinkle kneading surface with remaining flour. Knead dough until smooth and elastic 8 minutes total. (I use my kitchen aid with the "hook" attachment and it works great) Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion out very thin 1/16'' thick and then use a pizza cutter to cut it into narrow strips. Place the noodles on a cookie sheet to dry for about 30 minutes or longer.
Add the noodles to the soup and bring to a boil
Add 1/2 cup of Frozen peas (or more if desired)
Thicken with Corn Starch (mixed with water) to desired thickness.
Since much of the water is usually boiled of by now it may be to salty, so add water as necessary. If not salty enough add more bullion or salt.
Serve with Yummy Garlic Bread
