• 11/2 large yellow onionsn .chopped
• 4-5 green onions and most of the stemsndiced save some for on top when serving for presentation
• Handful of fresh celery leaves...chopped

• 5 large white
• mushrooms. . . .diced very fine
• Dried Sweet Basil. . . just lightly to cover top of potnot much...do not overpower
• Red crushed pepper .. .to your taste . . . just enough to have a slight to notice ....I use A VERY light sprinkle over the top of pot
• Kosher salt . . . . 1/2 tsp. to start and than your taste to bring out the flavor
• Distilled water
• Wide noodles or Kalsaki or homemade noodles. .

1. Wide noodles or Kalsaki noodles. . . .cook separately and add at the last 10 minutes of cooking
2. Use about 4 to 8 oz. (Depending on whether you like a lot of noodles. . .use more or less)
3. Using a 8qt. to larger pot add: all "Except" the noodles . . . . fill with distilled water to almost the top of pot
4. Bring to a boil. . . than lower heat . . . simmer until chicken is fallen apart.
5. Remove chicken from pot. . . separate the skin and bones if any . . . Your choice to either chunk meat or shred the chicken. Before returning to pot make a decision if you want to get rid of the excess fat.
6. If so cool the pot till chilled in refrigerator or in a cold spot. . . Coagulate the fat by skimming it off the top of the pot. Return to stove add: chunked or shredded chicken- noodles and heat it up -serve with
7. Italian Bread or Sour Dough Bread and Butter. This is filling and your family wants more.
8. You can add 1 - 2 stalks of celery if your like and a few of the leaves. Chopped very small
9. I also used my homemade noodles when I made them instead of brought noodles.
10. You can freeze the homemade noodles and this soup. My homemade noodles recipe I will give on request.
11. My family loved this soup anytime sometimes as a main course or just a small bowl as a starter
12. Or when it was cold and definitely when they were sick and I always added just a little more red crushed pepper to burn out the fever. Not enough to burn the mouth but heat up the body.
13. When I make egg drop soup. I take out the meat and use it for something else. I add 2 eggs beat a little with water and add slowly to the pot STIRRING continually till eggs cooked. PS. I use 2 eggs per 4 Qts. Of soup. Enjoy Hj
