Well, you couldn't have picked a better time for some Chicken Soup. I'm thinking of making a batch up myself. You know they call Chicken Soup Jewish Penicillin don't you! :)

I have mentioned this before as I have usually every year at deer camp is chicken and dumplings. this is so easy its a crime

get 4 cans of chicken broth, one can of chicken meat, and bring to boil

then cut up 4 large flour burritos in one inch squares and add them into the broth, done. I have the burritos pre cut so its so easy and good at the same time

Sounds great...

Yes I did. There's a good reason too. Something about the schmaltz that just seems to drive a cold out.:)

I did this the old fashioned way. I put a bunch of chicken thighs, onion, carrots, celery, sea salt, thyme, and bay leaves covered with water in a stock pot and let it simmer a few hours. Then I pulled the bay leaves and deboned the chicken, putting the meat back in the stock.

For the noodles I just mixed 3 eggs with four to make a very stiff dough, then rolled it out very thing and cut it into 3" long strips. One note here, the noodles are a lot longer and wider after cooking.

I brought the soup to a boil, then slowly added the noodles and cooked till they were done. Add salt and pepper to taste, then ladle it up.

Well, you really did prepare it all from scratch didn't you. I do about the same for my chicken soup but I haven't tried making the noodles yet. I put those little pasta stars in mine most of the time.Dang, now I really am thinking of making me up a batch...:)

I prefer the texture of homemade noodles. This way I also know everything that's in the soup.

Life, my wife makes it the same way, and it is some of the best soup i have ever eaten.
