Family On A Budget

My daughter loves the chicken noodle soup at our local Eat N Park restaurant. It contains a thicker chewy homemade noodle that is really good. I have found a similar tasting noodle that we used to make an inexpensive Chicken soup. It really hits the spot on a cold winter day and costs approximately $.25 for entire the batch (noodles only). I will post my soup recipe soon.

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon oil
1/3 cup water

In a bowl, mix the flour and salt together.

In another bowl beat the eggs, oil, and water together. Form a depression in the flour mixture and add the egg mixture. Mix well.

Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop. Knead for eight minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough in half with a knife. Roll each dough piece out with a floured rolling pin until it is 1/16 to 1/8-inch thick. Place the pieces on waxpaper and cover the dough and let rest for 20 minutes.

Using a knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips 1/4-inches wide. Drop the noodles one at time into simmering soup. Cook until tender. Approximately 10-15 minutes.
