Introduction
My family has been making these noodles for as long as I can remember, they are like a denser version of a dumpling and (if done right) there are rarely any leftovers. The recipe for the noodles is not exact so may take some experimentation.I have setup the nutrition fact for 4 hearty servings of this soup but it can easy be brought down to 8 smaller servings for half the listed calories.

Ingredients
-
8 cube Chicken bouillon or chicken broth
1 cup Flour, white and extra flour for hands (any type of flour should work)
1 extra large Egg lightly beaten or equivalent egg sustitute
1lb raw chicken cut into bite size pieces
1 1/3 cup frozen green beans
1 cup, sliced Onions, raw
0.5 cup kernels Yellow Sweet Corn, Frozen
8 cups water for bouillon
1 cup water to add to dough as needed
salt and pepper to taste
Tips
KEEP IN MIND: The only real flavor that will be imparted to your noodles is from the broth/soup and the S&P in the first step.
This is a great base recipe and can easily be converted to vegetarian or vegan if you exchange the egg for a vegan egg substitute and the broth for vegetable broth.
You can also add all of the vegetable you want and remove any in this recipe that you do not like.
Directions
1-In large soup pot cook the cubed chicken with seasoning to taste. Salt and pepper alone is fine but any seasoning will just add to the flavor of the soup.
2-Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
3-Prepare the bouillon as directed on the package or pour in the chicken broth into the same pot the chicken was cooked in (do not rinse this pot between steps). If there are any burnt on bits from cooking the chicken, be sure to scrape these off the bottom into the liquid when it is added (these are yummy flavor bits)
4-Once the bouillon has dissolved, add the cooked chicken back to the pot. Also add in the onion and frozen vegetables. Stir everything together and heat to a rolling boil.
5-While the broth/bouillon is heating up, prepare the noodles (separate directions below)
6-Once the soup reaches a rolling boil, pinch pieces of the noodle dough and drop them into the pot until all of the dough is gone...stirring occasionally to keep from sticking and to promote even cooking.
7-Soup is finished when noodles are completely cooked though.
It is VERY difficult to over cook these noodles so once they are all in you can reduce the heat and let simmer for a long time.
NOODLE DOUGH
1-In a mixing bowl stir together flour, salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 tsp of each is fine)
2-Add egg and about 2 to 4 tbs water to the flour mixture. Mix with fork until egg is mostly mixed in. (more water may need to be added during this process, the dough should be sticky but not wet)
3-Once most of the liquids have been mixed into the dough, coat hands in flour and gently knead the ingredients the rest of the way together.
4-The dough is finished when there are no more spots in the dough where you can find the egg or water separated, they should both be totally integrated into the dough
