These homemade egg noodles taste amazing in a variety of soups!
My family loves chicken noodle soup, and you shouldn’t wait until someone is sick to make a big batch of it! It’s easy to make, inexpensive, and it makes such a warm, comforting meal.
If you use leftover chopped chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken, it can be a really simple, satisfying meal to whip up any night of the week!
One ingredient that I believe makes a great soup is Herbes de Provence, which is a mixture of dried lavender, thyme, sage, and rosemary. It’s absolutely wonderful in a variety of poultry dishes, and I even use it on my turkey at Thanksgiving!
Below you’ll find my recipe for an easy chicken or turkey noodle soup that can serve as the perfect complement to this homemade egg noodle recipe.

Use your Instant Pot to make this cheesy Chicken Ranch Pasta with Bacon.
Looks Delicious Lina! Definitely going to to try this out 🙂 Thanks for posting
could you make these and then freeze them to cook later?
Yes! I let them dry for a while, then store on airtight container in freezer. Just boil frozen noodles when making soup. I have also made the entire soup and freeze it that way.
This looks so easy & yummy- I LOVE making soup in fall & winter but have never made my own noodles- I’m def gonna try this! Thanks Lina!
Very nice! I make pasta at home too. 4 cups King Arthur AP flour and 4 eggs and little bit salt. I use pasta machine to finish ( knead/ shape/cut) the job. That is it. but it is really good. Especially for lasagna. I will try it. Thank you for sharing!
This looks absolutely fantastic. I may just have to give this a try. Thanks for the recipe!
Yum, thank you! I can’t seem to get my 7 year old to eat soup that doesn’t come out of a can but if I involve her in making the noodles I bet she’ll change her tune.
Yes my kids like helping in this! It’s like playing play-dough. 🙂
I make mine for chicken and dumplings, homemade from scratch and its YUMMYY… Guess i need to make it since its getting colder!! YAY
Yum! Can’t wait to try! I make my own dumplings but never really thought about making egg noodles. Thanks Lina!
I love chicken noodle soup! A good tip is to sauté your veggies (with the side note of the smaller you cut them up, the quicker they cook. For those days you’re in a hurry.) in a pan and then make the soup. It gives it that all day cooking deep rich flavor, but a fraction of the time. This is particularly useful if using the rotisserie option.
My friend taught me this tip now I do this as well and I agree sautéing veggies first makes a richer tasting soup!!
Looks great!!! I always make my own chicken stock and freeze in zip lock bags for easy use later. I save the greens from celery, random carrots and left over fresh herbs and freeze them in one big bag. Later get some more fresh veggies, chicken and the frozen bag of scraps and make an awesome broth!!! Now i need to make my own noodles, thanks for the suggestion!!
Can’t wait to make it!!!!!
I make these noodles a lot. They are fantastic and a huge hit in my house!
Thanks for the recipe! I’m glad to see else uses these at Thanksgiving. It’s a tradition that my grandma did and now my mom who last year taught me how to make these noodles as well to keep our Thanksgiving tradition alive. I’m originally from the Midwest and this was a norm for our Thanksgiving dinner but now that I live in the South I get odd looks when I mention it. Ha! Glad to see someone else has a similar tradition.
Yes my hubby’s family in Indiana make this at thanksgiving too! Yum
I am a lover of home-made noodles……..a huge “THANK YOU” for sharing this recipe, I will be making some of these very soon, I also like to eat mine just plain too!
I have always wanted to try making egg noodles, but eggs are so expensive. I live in a city so keeping chickens is not an option. :/
I have always made homemade noodles using all whole eggs. I am just curious as to what the benefit is of using mostly yolks only?
I am curious as well
I’ve never made homemade noodles, but want to try. So this might sound like a strange question, but before I boil the noodles, do I need to let them dry for awhile? My grandma (now deceased) used to make her own noodles, and I remember going over there and there’d be noodles everywhere drying lol
I think it’s personal preference on that because some recipes do and some don’t. If your dough isn’t super sticky and they aren’t sticking together they will semi-dry pretty quick while you boil water, and fine to cook. If you plan on freezing I would dry longer so they don’t stick together while storing. Thanks!
Collin, I wanted to thank you for your noodle recipe yesterday. I put some chicken in the crock pot to cook while I was out shopping for deals. On my list was to pick up some reames noodles which are my favorite. I couldn’t find any noodles, so I picked up some Amish noodles instead. I returned home and noticed your post and decided to try your recipe. I want to say that it turned out great. My husband even said, “The best noodles he has ever had”. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe.
I forgot to add that I made mine thick like dumplings. My neighbor suffered a stroke a few weeks ago and we have been bringing him dinner every evening. He loved the chicken and dumplings too.
when making these noodles instead of using water use chicken broth for a richer taste and add a little butter. they will be perfect
I finally made these noodles for the very first time and they came out awesome! I rolled them out as thin as I could, I used the pizza cutter, and I refrigerated them uncooked to be used the next day. I used a little poultry seasoning in the dough. They expanded a ton when I boiled them (I added some chicken stock to the water) . I served them with my chicken marsala and my whole family raved. Lina, thanks to you, we will never eat store-bought noodles again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Oh I love this comment. Thanks for sharing. Those noodles do rock 🙂
That coudn’t be any easier. Thanks for sharing. Now hubbie will feel better.
I just made these noodles last night. So delicious! A real winner, Lina! Thanks so much!
Thanks Alison! One of my favorite meals! Yum
very good! thanks
Yay! I’m so glad- thanks for sharing!
no prob :] having leftovers now and wanted to thank you but then remembered I already did lol
Yay for leftovers! <3
Hi. Why do you precook the noodles then add them to the soup? Why don’t you just make them and let them cook in the soup?
