Gramma Ford’s Chicken Noodles

(For step-by-step photos and sassin’, see related blog post.)

Note: if you are using frozen Reames noodles, start cooking with the noodles frozen, not thawed. Thawed noodles get very gummy, very quick. If you’re subsituting other egg noodles, check the package for cook times.

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add noodles. Cook just shy of done. Add butter. Yes, the whole stick. Don’t be shy.

Once butter melts, stir it all together. Drain canned chicken of juices and add meat to the pot. You can easily subsitute any pre-cooked chicken (or leftover Thanksgiving turkey!) you have on hand.

Stir it all together. Let it simmer till the noodles are done. If you’re using Reames frozen noodles, they’ll get thick and dumpling-y and oh, so, good. Season with pepper, to taste.

Devour!
