Shon's sick and I wanted to make him something to eat but we didn't have any soup. He really can't eat anything else right now. So what's more comforting than homemade chicken noodle soup when you're sick? Only problem was we didn't have the right noodles and I didn't want to use spaghetti. So I made my own pasta. I found a million different ways to make it and so I decided to wing it.
Pasta:
2cups all purpose flour (works best if sifted, but I skipped that part as it was 5 am and I was not into doing extras)
1/2 t salt
2 eggs
2 T olive oil
Mix dry and make a well inside a bowl.
Mix wet ingredients till its all the same color.
Dump wet into the well in the dry ingredients.
SLOWLY mix and stay in the center of the bowl. Use a fork. Work your way to the outside of bowl and get rid of the fork when it's too thick to use it. Squash it around until it's the right doughy consistency. I had lots of leftover flour which I used to flour my board and stuff. Knead for 10 minutes then cover and let rest for at least 30 min.
While you wait you can cut your veggies for the soup.
Cut dough in half and roll it out on floured board till it's as thin as possible. Cut into desired shape and make sure they are well separated so they don't stick together.
Soup:
As much carrots, celery, and onion as you want. I used about 1.5 carrots, 2 celery stalks, and half a med onion. Chop it all small. Cook in olive oil for at least 5 min till all is tender. Add your broth. I used 3 cans. Boil for a bit then add your pasta and cook for 3 minutes then test a noodle. I also added some salt and pepper, original mrs dash, garlic, parsely, and a few bay leaves.
