HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP 
3 to 4 lbs. chicken
5 cups water or chicken broth
1 lb. baby carrots
5 cloves garlic, minced
3 celery stalks, finely sliced
2 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced
1 tsp. low sodium chicken soup base (or bouillon)
1 large onion, chopped
1 or 2 green onions, chopped (optional)
2 bay leaves
pinch ea oregano and thyme
salt and pepper (to taste)
additional seasonings of your choice (to taste)

Put all ingredients in Crock-Pot.

Cooks Note: Allow soup to come to a boil for 1 minute, then reduce heat until steaming hot but not boiling (barely simmering is OK). A boiled chicken soup is tasteless. If your Crock-Pot doesn't allow a steaming hot soup without rapid boiling, do not use it for making soup.

Cook all day (6-8 hours) or until chicken is tender (not stringy).

Thirty minutes before serving time, add homemade noodles; cook until noodles are tender (any kind of pasta can be used). Taste and season soup with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, to taste, before serving.

Homemade Noodles:

1 cup sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
1-2 tbsp. water or milk

Measure flour onto a work surface or into a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and add egg, water and salt into the center. Mix to make a stiff paste.

Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until it forms a smooth ball. Cover and lest rest for 5 minutes.

Roll out to a 1/8-inch thickness. Turn and roll very thin. (A pasta machine may be used).

Allow to dry for 1 hour, then cut into lengthwise strips of 2 1/2-inches wide and stack or use wide cutter of pasta machine. Then slice the other way to one-eighth to one-sixteenth inch width. Separate and allow to dry.

Add noodles to chicken soup and cook on high for 20 minutes.

Variation: To make pot-pie noodles, cut noodles into 1 1/2 to 2 inch squares.

I made some for my sis without noodles... she can't have gluten. Used brown rice instead. Made this awesome soup even better! Now I use noodles and brown rice. Adds such a wonderful flavor.

I made this soup yesterday... I confess that I didn't make my own noodles but the combination of spices is awesome. My husband voluntarily told me he loved it. I'll be making this one again.

This is a really good recipe. I made a few changes though, I added more broth and water, and a few different spices.

By far the best chicken noodle soup I have ever made. Did not make the noodles, used pre made... but it was still wonderful.

Excellent recipe!! I substituted with whole grain angel hair noodles to stay away from white flour and starchy foods. My husband loved it.

Just making now in my new Pampered Chef Cast Iron Dutch Oven... I didn't find recipe until I was part way through the 'experiment' so I cooked my veggies/with a little butter till a little done, and then took out and cooked cut up chicken tenders, sautéed and then added veggies back in with broth and water. I didn't measure the seasonings... didn't have garlic so used powder, dried parsley but it tastes amazing! Will simmer and then add Reamers frozen noodles 1/2 hour before serving. Great recipe, thanks!

Very good soup recipe. I use Better Than Bouillon or Chicken Powder from an Asian Store. Both are good! I've made Chicken Noodle Soup before, but this recipe was by far the best one so far. Thank You!!! And my boys thank you too! I've already added to my recipe box. One other thing I do is saute the onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and roast the cut to bite sized pieces of chicken and then add it to my soup pot.
