In a large pot combine 1 can of chicken broth, all vegetables and cook until the vegetables are tender crisp. Add the canned chicken, break it up if it needs to be. Add another can of chicken broth if it need the flavor or the liquid you can also add in water as needed. Add the noodles and salt and pepper to taste.

For Homemade noodles (your hands will get messy with this one since it is hard to really mix it with a utensil)

In a small bowl combine the egg and 4 tbs of flour. mix in the rest of the flour a little at a time until the dough has a light stickiness feel to it.  spread some flour out on the counter and roll out the dough cut in to 1" X 1/2" strips and add to the hot soup. when they rise to the top of the liquid they are cooked.


We also substitute potatoes for the celery since we rarely have celery in the house.
