Instructions
For the broth:
Using a Costco whole cooked chicken, strip it of the meat and then add everything left over (bones/skin/bits of meat) into 22 cups of water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to light boil / simmer for about 30 min while you make the noodles. Once the noodles are done, strain out the bits so you are left with just broth. Depending on how much soup you want this may or may not be enough broth. If you need more use 'Better Than Bouillon Chicken' brand chicken broth.

For the noodles:
On the counter, dump the cup of flour then make a pool in the middle. Add salt and pepper. Crack and add the egg into the center of the flour. Using a fork mix the yolk and the white of the egg in the middle of the flour, without pulling in a lot of flour. Continue to mix the egg gradually adding more and more flour from the surrounding pile. About half way through all the flour, start using your fingers to roll it around grabbing more and more flour. Continue until most of the flour is gone.

Add some more flour onto the counter and roll out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut the thing into strips of about 3 inches wide. Add a little more flour on the top, then stack the strips on top of each other. Then cut that into three pieces and stack on top of each other again making a layered stack of approx. 3" x 4" noodles. Cut them on the end into about 3/8" widths. Break apart onto a plate and repeat for more noodles. This recipe amount is for 1 round of noodles.
For the soup:
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter then add onion, celery, and carrots in butter and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Pour in chicken broth and stir in noodles, basil, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken and cook 3 more minutes until chicken is heated through.

For family of 4 I tripled this and we had 5 bowls of leftovers. The Costco chicken also gave about 6 cups worth of meat which is why I tripled it. There was a lot of the 'soup' left over with no chicken or noodles. Could either reduce soup or add more noodles.
