Ingredients
  

For the Bone Broth:

  • 1 rotisserie chicken or 2-3 pounds of thawed frozen chicken
  • 14 cups 3.5 liters water
  • 1 tablespoon peppercorns
  • 1 cup celery tops leafy parts
  • 2 carrots cut into large pieces
  • 1 whole onion not sliced
  • 2-3 bay leaves

For the Soup:

  • 2 cups chopped rotisserie chicken from the bone broth
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon or 2 cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

For the Homemade Egg Noodles:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • Water as needed, about 2-4 tablespoons

Instructions
 

Making the Bone Broth:

  • Remove all meat from the rotisserie chicken and set it aside in a bowl or airtight container. Refrigerate for later use.
  • Place the bones (with or without skin) in a large pot.
  • Add 14 cups of water, peppercorns, celery tops, carrots, a whole onion (unpeeled), and bay leaves to the pot.
  • Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 4 hours to extract all the nutrients and flavor from the chicken bones.
  • TIP: You can add the chicken skin to the broth for extra flavor. If you prefer, leave it out based on your taste.

Strain the Bone Broth:

  • After simmering, use a slotted spoon to remove the larger bones and vegetable remnants from the pot.
  • Set up a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the remaining broth through it. Discard the bones, bay leaves, and boiled vegetables.

Prepare the Soup:

  • Pour the strained bone broth back into the large pot.
  • Add extra water if needed to get the right volume of broth.
  • Stir in the chopped celery, carrots, peas, and shredded rotisserie chicken.
  • Season the soup with chicken bouillon, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and dried parsley.
  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.

Make the Noodles:

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  • Create a well in the center and crack the egg into it.
  • Using a fork, gently mix the egg into the flour until the mixture forms small pieces.
  • Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough for about 1 minute until it’s smooth. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll and Slice the Noodles:

  • After resting, sprinkle flour on your work surface and roll the dough out thinly (about the thickness of a nickel).
  • Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into ¼-inch strips and then cut them into 2-inch long noodles.

Cook the Noodles:

  • Gently drop the noodles into the simmering soup, stirring as you go to avoid clumping.
  • Let the noodles cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender.
  • Serve hot with your favorite bread, like Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits or Soft Fluffy French Bread.

Notes

  • Use homemade or high-quality store-bought chicken bone broth for the best flavor.
  • Try egg, rice, or gluten-free noodles, and cook them separately to avoid mushiness.
  • Add fresh herbs, soy sauce, or a splash of vinegar for extra flavor.
  • Include quick-cooking veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or bok choy.
  • Add cooked chicken, tofu, or shrimp for extra protein.
