THE PICKY EATER'S CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• FOR NOODLES: Mix all ingredients for pasta together by hand or with a mixer. Separate dough into two balls. Cover both until ready to roll out.
• Flour a flat surface and your hands. Roll out one of the balls as flat as you can get it (I can never get mine much thinner than 1/8 inch). Let dry for 5 minutes before cutting into thin strips (no wider than 1/4 inch).
• Place noodles on a cookie sheet and into the oven at THE LOWEST HEAT SETTING POSSIBLE for about 10 minutes. Leave oven door cracked.
• Remove noodles and break into approx 2 inch pieces.
• SEE NOTE FOR THE OPTIONAL VEGGIES.
• FOR SOUP: In a large pot, add all "for soup" ingredients except for chicken. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-high. Allow to cook for 30 minutes.
• Add pureed veggies (if using) and noodles. Return to a boil and cook until noodles float at the top of your soup.
• Add chicken and heat 10 minutes more.
• Serve with crackers or cornbread.
• *OPTIONAL* Sautee all optional veggies in olive oil in a large skillet until soft. Puree in food processor or blender and set aside until ready to use in soup. This step will help you get even more good-for-you veggies in without anyone noticing!
