Veggies should be cut up into SMALL cubes. Boil for at least two hours until the meat on the chicken falls off the bones, remove meat from broth, and pick all meat from the bones. Return the meat to the pot and turn down to a simmer. Make a light baking powder biscuit recipe (I use Fanny Farmers) and add an extra 1/2 cup of milk. Bring pot back to a rolling boil, drop biscuit sized dough from spoon into pot, making sure that they stay separate (at least by a little broth). Cover and cook for 20 minutes. These should be served piping hot with "Green Beans with Bacon and Onion" and a veggie tray. Homemade Egg Noodles: 2 Cups of White flour 1 egg Pinch of Salt Put the flour on a clean counter in a peaked pile, with a spoon, make a dent in the top of the flour for the egg. Break the egg into the flour and mix thoroughly (hands only - no forks). Knead vigorously until the dough is fairly stiff. Roll thin and slice into noodles with a dull table knife (pressing the noodles apart rather than cutting apart. Leave on counter for 1-2 hours to dry. Should be boiled in the soup, only 8 min. before serving.
