“Almost Homemade” Chicken and Noodles

My husband was a single daddy with three young children when we first met . He invited me over to dinner one evening, and had prepared chicken and noodles.

I was surprised that he had actually made his own noodles using eggs, flour, and milk.. rolled them out, cut into strips, and dried them.

The rest of his recipe, however, was far different from the chicken and noodles my mother used to make. He used Campbell’s condensed cream of chicken soup.  I was skeptical, but impressed with  the effort.. so I tried them.

It was fantastic! That was almost twenty years ago, and to this day I still make his recipe more often than I do my mother’s old fashioned chicken and noodles.

I do not make my own noodles, though. I use good old Reames frozen egg noodles, along with other shortcuts. Still tastes delicious and hearty. Of course, for me they have to be served over mashed potatoes (I think this might be a Kansas thing)!
