Step 3: Make the Noodles
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Gradually mix with a fork or your hands.
- Slowly add water, a tablespoon at a time, until a soft, pliable dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Slice into thin strips to form noodles.
Step 4: Cook the Noodles
- Bring the chicken broth with vegetables and shredded chicken back to a gentle boil.
- Carefully add the fresh noodles to the pot.
- Simmer for 8–10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
Step 5: Final Touches
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a little Parmesan cheese for extra comfort and flavor.
