Chicken Noodle Soup with Homemade Noodles

Noodles: Super Easy - Don't be intimidated!
First thing in the morning mix:
1 egg
1/4 c. evaporated milk
salt
Then add flour to make it the consistency of bread dough. Dump onto floured surface and knead a little. USE TONS OF FLOUR. Roll out to about 1/8 in. thick and cut into noodle sized pieces with a pizza cutter. Add flour and move the noodles around. All day. Until they dry out.

Later that afternoon:
Boil chicken in chicken broth with chopped onion, parsley, and basil. Take out the chicken and shred it. Combine it all again, add 1 can cream of chicken soup and about 6 cups of chicken broth or bouillon equivalent. Add carrots and celery. Boil until the veggies are crisp-tender. Add noodles - brush off the flour a little. Make sure you add the noodles to BOILING soup, stir while adding. They will be done in about 10 minutes, and they soak up the broth so you may need to add more.

It is a good, hearty soup. My Mom makes it after Thanksgiving with leftover turkey and serves it over mashed potatoes! So good!
