Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup with Egg Noodles

My favorite soup from my childhood, Chicken Noodle & Dumpling Soup is made with homemade egg noodles, super easy dumplings from scratch, and loaded with shredded chicken, carrots, cabbage, celery, and onions! It's comfort food at it's best!

Ingredients

  • 12 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 4 talks celery chopped
  • 4-6 carrots sliced into discs
  • 1 1/2 cups cabbage roughly chopped
  • 1/2 large onion diced
  • 1-2 teaspoons salt or to taste
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh
  • 3 cups chicken breasts and/or thighs cooked and shredded
Homemade Egg Noodles
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk
Dumplings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour the chicken broth into a large heavy pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and cabbage to chicken broth and season with salt, pepper, and thyme and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. 
  2. Stir in the shredded, cooked chicken. Add the fresh egg noodles by dropping them in a handful at a time and stirring so they don't clump together. Add the dumplings at the same time by dropping tablespoonfuls on top of the simmering soup. Cover and cook for 5 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through and no longer doughy inside.
Egg Noodles
  1. To make the noodles, pulse flour and salt in a food processor. Add olive oil and pulse. Add egg and pulse to combine. Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse just until combined and starting to clump a bit.  
  2. Dump the egg noodle dough onto a clean counter and knead a few times to bring it together in one clump, then cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes or longer. Roll out very thin on a well-floured surface, then cut into thin, short strips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Dumplings
  1. Combine all dumpling ingredients together in a medium bowl by stirring with a fork just until moistened.
