How to make Homemade Egg Noodles

To make homemade egg noodles, we will take flour, baking powder and salt, mixing them together in a large bowl. Create a large dimple in the center of the flour mixture. In a separate bowl we’ll want to whisk together the eggs and a little bit of water.

Pour the egg mixture into the dimple of the flour.

Whisk the eggs with a fork until it gets too thick and then use your hands to knead the dough until it is soft but workable. You may not use all of the flour in the bowl, that is just fine and normal. Roll the dough out onto a well-floured countertop. Roll it until it is pretty thin.

Now this is important, you want to let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes. If this step is skipped, the noodles will be dense and not puff up as they should. Once the dough has rested, use a pizza cutter to cut the noodles into thin strips. They are then ready to be boiled and cooked. The noodles will sink to the bottom, and when the noodles are cooked, they will float up to the top.

How to make your soup in the Instant Pot

We will cook the chicken, carrots, celery and seasonings together with the broth in the Instant Pot. We will cook this on high pressure for 3 minutes with a. 6 minute NPR. 

While the Instant Pot is coming to pressure and cooking, make the homemade egg noodles. That way they have time to rest. 

When the Instant Pot has finished it’s cook cycle, including the NPR, we’ll remove the chicken to shred. Turn your Instant Pot onto sauté and once the soup is simmering place the egg noodles into the soup to cook.  Once the noodles have finished cooking, add the shredded chicken back into the soup. 

Lastly, pour the heavy cream into the soup and stir. Serve hot!

How to make your soup on the Stove Top

The method here is extremely close to the Instant Pot method above. The only difference, is that we will simmer the broth, chicken, carrots, celery and seasonings on the stovetop instead of pressure cooking it. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until veggies are tender and the chicken is cooked through. 

Make your homemade egg noodles while things are simmering on the stovetop. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove to shred and cook the egg noodles. Return the shredded chicken to the pot once the noodles have cooked and lastly, stir in some heavy cream.

    I am making this recipe today ( my first IP recipe ever!) but nowhere dies it mention how much chicken to use. I am going to use the standard package size, but was just curious as to what was used here. Thanks!

    So delicious! This was the perfect recipe for my sick family this week. I accidentally let the noodles sit too long and they puffed up real big : D
