Instructions

To Make The Noodle Dough

Add to a large mixing bowl the flour, eggs, and salt. Mix together, and add small amounts of water until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
3 cups flour, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, water, as needed
Flour a counter-top, then roll out the dough on top, until the dough is 1/2" thick. Cut the dough into 1 1/2" squares.

To Make The Broth

To a stock pot add the broth, celery, peas, carrots, potatoes, onion, and parsley.
8 cups chicken broth, 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced, 1 medium white onion, diced, 4 potatoes peeled & diced, 2 cups sweet peas, 1-2 carrot peeled, and diced, 2 tsp parsley
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then add the noodles in one at a time- to prevent sticking. Reduce the mixture to a simmer, and let the noodles cook for 25 minutes, or until tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water together until smooth. Stir the slurry into the soup mixture.
1 tbsp cornstarch, 1/4 cup water
Continue to simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until thickened (3-5 minutes). When thickened, stir in the chicken. Salt & pepper, the soup- to taste.
3 cups chopped, rotisserie chicken, salt & pepper, to taste

Notes

Just add a little water at a time to the noodle dough, maybe a teaspoon to tablespoon at a time. The dough is hydrated enough when it holds together and is pliable.
Don't overwork the dough. You don't want the noodles to be tough.
When you drop the noodles into the pot, do not be tempted to drop them all in at once. They will stick together. Take your time and drop them in one by one.
