Chicken and Homemade Rice Noodle Soup

This is a great comfort soup. My kids had the flu the other day and this did the trick. The homemade rice noodles are so delicious and reminds me of the great taste of dumplings. I really think you will enjoy.

Prep Time: 8 min.
Cook Time: 15 min.
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:
3 Cups Rice Flour (I use Bobs Red Mill brand)
1 1/2 teas. salt
3 tbs. Sugar
2 1/2 teas. Xanthan Gum (I use Bobs Red Mill brand)
1/2 cup Dry Milk
2 1/4 teas. Red Star Active Dry Yeast

Wet Ingredients:
3 Eggs
3 tbs.Oil
1 teas. Vinegar
1 cup water

Other Ingredients:
1 large boneless skinless chicken breast (Walmarts great value brand is gluten free)
8 cups water
1 teas. garlic salt
1 teas. oninon salt
1 teas. salt
1/2 teas. cummin (optional)
1 can peas (Walmarts great value brand is gluten free)
1 can carrots (Walmarts great value brand is gluten free)
3 green onions chopped (optional)
1. Boil chicken breast in 8 cups of water, 1 teas. garlic salt, 1 teas. onion salt, 1 teas. salt and 1 teas. cummin (optional) for 10 minutes.

2. While your chicken is boiling mix dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another bowl. Next combine both dry and wet ingredients. Form into a ball. Then spit dough into two halves. I use only half of the dough and either freeze or refrigerate the other half of the dough for another time. You could use all of the dough if you feel that you would like more noodles. There are other recipies that I use this dough for so I like to save the dough because I use it often.

3. Next sprinkle rice flour over counter or cutting board. Place dough ontop and roll out flat... sprinkling rice flour over dough when needed to prevent sticking.

4. Once you reach your desired thickness cut dough into strips...making your noodles. I like to use a pizza cutter to do this. This makes it easier to get your strips cut out evenly and quickly.

Here is a picture of what my noodles look like once cut out. Noodles do not need to be cut out perfect to be beautiful or taste delicous when cooked.

5. By the time you get your noodle done your chicken should be done boiling. Take a fork and pull your chicken out of the water and place onto a cutting board. Turn stove to low leaving water and seasongings cooking on low (the chicken has turn your water and seasonings into a nice chicken broth).

6. Cut chicken into chuncks and put back into your chicken broth.

7. Drop noodles into chicken broth and chicken.

8. Drain and add canned peas and corrots. Also taste to see if you need to add anymore seasoning. If more seasoning is needed just add according to what your taste buds prefer. Bring back to a boil and boil on medium for 5 min. (stir occasionally to prevent noodle from sticking together) or until noodle are done or to your prefered taste.

9. After my soup is dished I like to add some green onions (chives) ontop. This is optional but I think it gives it a great taste in your bite...enjoy!
