This is by far my favorite soup! I got this recipe from a newspaper clipping…years ago, and never replaced it with another recipe yet! It is thick & creamy. Yesterday I posted my husband’s favorite Chicken Noodle soup, with home-made noodles. Before we know it, we will be faced with Cold days & chilly nights. […]

I love pepperoni! I know that it isn’t very good for you, but sometimes you just throw caution to the wind, and repent & pay later! This recipe is from Guy Fieri, from Big Bites. The sauteed pepperoni & sausage is what gives this dish a kick. It’s a nice change from traditional lasagna.   […]

    This sounds delish but I h ave a question about putting it together. You say put lasagna noodles on bottom and then you dont mention layering them later with the other ingredients? You do layer the noodles with the other ingredients like normal lasagna, do you not? I want to try this because my family loves my lasagna but have never thought of adding pepperoni to it. thanksReplyCancel

Cold nights are soon coming, and we will be thinking about warm soups. My family loves HOME-MADE chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles. This soup is thick & creamy! I add the pictures to help you in the noodle making process, in case you’ve never tried your hand at making noodles before. Follow the pictures […]

    Love this! My mother-in-law gave me same recipe but we cut the noodles into squares! She calls them Alaskan noodles. Served over mashed potatoes and with beef or chicken. Yummy!ReplyCancel

    I grew up in Sugar City, Idaho. My family moved to Arizona in 1964. There are many Idaho transplants I have met through the years and some how the conversation eventually gets to “homemade noodles over mashed potatoes.” Must be an Idaho thing. It looks sooo delicious. Makes me feel like making some.ReplyCancel

    This recipe looks delicious, but big. Wondering how it reheats (do the noodles get gummy) and/or if it freezes for later re-heating.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 04/29/2012 - 8:57 pm

      Hi Melissa,
      It reheats perfectly! It doesn’t freeze well though.
      You could just half the recipe. This is my husbands all time favorite meal.

    Sorry, just slightly confused… what is the or in the recipe? is it use the celery salt or the bon apetit salt? just one of those?ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 10/26/2012 - 2:28 pm

      Hi Heather,

      I use the bon appetite seasoning in place of the chopped celery. This will also add a saltier taste, so be careful how much salt you use.
      You can always add Salt, but can’t take it away.

  • Megan - 10/26/2012 - 8:57 am

    Want to make sure I am reading correctly. The soup needs to simmer for at least an hour while the noodles are drying; and then another hour after the noodles are added?
    Looks delish!ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 10/26/2012 - 2:27 pm

      Hi Megan,

      The soup (broth mixture with the chicken pieces added, needs to simmer on low for at least 30 to 45 minutes….don’t boil it, just a very low simmer.
      Add the dried noodles (Noodles need to sit for at least a couple of hours before adding them to the broth) Once you add the noodles to the broth, cook over med/low heat for about an hour. I don’t ever let the soup boil….just a nice simmer.

    Hi. My mom used to make something almost identical to this, with the exception that she added in diced carrot for color. We used to also serve it over mashed ‘tatoes. When she passed, the recipe went with her, so I am thrilled to have found your recipe. THANK YOU!!!! I was wondering if the noodles can be made, dried out and frozen beforehand (i.e. to make before a holiday dinner) and then thawed out and the rest of the recipe made before the holiday. We used to always have this for holidays.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 11/24/2012 - 12:40 pm

      Hi Jessica,

      Sometimes I also add diced carrots as well! We also serve this over mashed potatoes….that’s how my Mom in law did it. You can make the noodles, dry them, then
      freeze them. Just pop them frozen in your hot broth and cook. They will simply take longer to cook through.

    Made this tonight for dinner and the house smelled SO GOOD while this was cooking! I made 1/2 the recipe as it’s just my husband and myself and there’s still a big bowl of leftovers. 🙂 I added diced carrots, celery and onion. Never heard of eating this over mashed potatoes but it was great as a soup. Will definitely make it again next time I want a good home-cooked chicken noodle soup! And this was my first time making home-made noodles. They turned out pretty good….like the ones you get in restaurant soup. Thanks for posting the recipe!ReplyCancel
