[@maryharker5088]

I don’t think people realize how much planning and organization goes in to running a household. You are a treasure.

[@barbarataylor2494]

for sure!

[@solosaloon1959]

While convenience foods allowed women to enter the work force, there is not a good replacement for a good homemaker.

[@myfunlovinglife]

It is a lost art, for sure

[@CynBrown]

Fresh pasta makes a bigger difference than people think it will. This looks great.

[@annamaesours5036]

I love chicken noodle soup. It's about my favorite.

[@trishsmith2811]

It’s so interesting to me that we do so many things the same way. My father was born in 1902 and he taught me to cook. He was a wonderful cook who always wanted his own restaurant. But we were poor. So I learned the ‘old’ ways. Probably a lot like your grandma taught you. I dry my noodles on hangers just like you do! He taught me to cook everything from scratch. I do buy flour, butter,milk and eggs because I have to but we hunt and fish and I have two large gardens to tend so I am able to put up as much food for my husband and I as I can. All my adult kids want my recipes but I have to tell them they aren’t written down. I should have insisted they learn, like you, but I didn’t. You are incredible to handle all that you do. I really enjoy listening to you and learning more about you and your family and of course, food! Thank you so much for making these great videos! PS- I hate wearing shoes outside and I loved seeing the bunny in your kitchen! My sister had a bunny in the house when we were kids :)

[@solosaloon1959]

Write those recipes down now! They will be useful to your future generations. Use words like “give or take” if you need to. I have no children and I’m old now. This girl is so fun to watch. She is what I wanted to be in my youth. Sigh. But God has been good to me. I am inspired to get off the couch and keep trying to homestead in my own small way.

[@SS-vz9th]

You sound just like my great-grandmother. When she passed, we tried to find her recipes. We figured out they were all from memory.

[@trishsmith2811]

Yes, I am old as well solosaloon1959 and I have made up a couple family cook books for all the kids. I’ve taught young women (not family) how to bake bread, how to can, how to quilt, I even taught a young woman how to bake a chicken. Her mother didn’t cook and so she never learned and was afraid to try. One time we had friends over and the husband was dumbfounded that I knew how to cut up a chicken. I still wash out every soup jar with water to get the last bits out. That’s why this KZbin channel is so important. To think someone called her ‘uneducated’ got it all wrong. She is a teacher. The most treasured of people.

[@suseyq4559]

I passed along your video to my best friend. My favorite part of all of your homemade recipes is that you have a base core of something, then you wing it. Perfect. We trust your families opinion and they love your soups, breads and everything else. Being a prior Mennonite, you bring your knowledge to the viewer and we trust your old, tried and true methods. Thank you for all you do, Ruth Ann.

[@priscillamoore5736]

I like the way Ruthann "wings it", also. That's what life is really like; it's rarely like America's Test Kitchen. :-D

[@juliahelland6488]

My maternal grandma and I cooked and baked together. She taught me many Norwegian and Swedish recipes. Also making homemade noodles with my mom. I canned with my fraternal grandmother who was German and French Canadian. They are long gone and I miss them dearly. I am eternally grateful for all they taught me and the memories we created together! 💯❣️

[@TheMelodicMess]

Sounds like an amazing upbringing!

[@priscillamoore5736]

@juliehelland6488 ~ I bet you know how to make tourtiere. I had that one Christmas at my SIL's, and was surprised at how rich and filling it is.

[@joanpettinelli224]

My family and I love homemade chicken noodle soup! You just helped me up my game by showing me how to make the egg noodles from scratch! You're just as good a teacher as your grandmother!!

[@NormaDelRizzo]

My parents grew up in a mennonite community here in Canada. Our chicken noodle soup is quite different. The broth is simmered with star anise, pepper corns and bay leaf and that is it, no veggies. And then our noodles were always hand cut after rolling the dough up jelly roll fashion. We covered the rolled out dough with flour to prevent sticking before rolling and cutting, and then shook out the flour with a sieve. Big job but I still do it and love it. Thanks for sharing your version!

[@mackenziekolehmainen7048]

I have made these noodles per your recipe and LOVE them! My grandmother hoards them for her 'special occasions' when I give her some❤️

[@Ruthannzimm]

Awe!!!!

[@marybethhunt1996]

I’m a soup all year woman but Especially in the fall! Great tips and tricks. I especially liked shredding the carrot! Another good thing was watching you manage your time and work throughout the day ❤️

[@georgiagardengirlshomestea1560]

Now that I am retired I have more time to cook from scratch. I'm so blessed to have my husband retired as well. We sure do get a bigger bounty in our garden with his help!. 2 of 15 grandchildren live with us, so I have extra hands to help me weed or get eggs while I gathering vegetables. My family prefers to wait until now, after the weather has cooled, to eat soups. We hail from Scotland. Eastern European mainly. I love cooking comfort foods on Fridays. Specifically, Fridays since the kiddos have most of theìr test at school on that day. What a wonderful way to start our weekends! I really believe it matters to "sprinkle" God's loves into your meals. I pray as I cook. It calms me, and the rest of my family, as they eat and enjoy the Lord's blessings. God bless you all in your endeavors. ~Robin

[@bertieyearout2690]

Loved seeing you and kids barefoot in the garden. Soup is beautiful. Anytime we feel a cold coming on we make chicken soup. Tfs and God bless.

[@laurielangton9333]

Anyone else catch the bunny hopping through the kitchen in the beginning. Just one more charming thing about this video. This video has motivated me to make soup with homemade noodles. Can't wait!

[@angelacooper4043]

Yes I saw the bunny ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@PleaseNThankYou]

I have nothing but awe and admiration for the farmers wife. You have a very lovily countenance which is the product of a productive life. Most of us complain about having to do much more than stir a pot.

[@peggyoconnell3733]

This was such a fun video to watch! I learned how to make homemade pasta, something I have never seen demonstrated before! The soup looks absolutely delicious! Watching the clothes being hung on the line, the boys setting the table and the family sitting down to eat together was so delightful! Thank you for sharing this wholesome recipe!

[@Ruthannzimm]

You’re welcome!!! Enjoy!!!

[@christimichaels202]

Standing at grandma’s elbow. Absolutely love this analogy. I am 66 years young You just helped me feel loved.😊😊😊😊😊

[@lindapeterson328]

I am tempted to try making homemade noodles now! The way things are going in America, learning the old ways is important and necessary.

[@futurefolk9919]

Didn't know making homemade noodles could be so easy. Your soup looks fantastic, no wonder it's a famiky favorite 🤗

[@helensbioladen8708]

You talk from my heart. I am an Austrian living in Africa and we do the same

[@judyrourke835]

You are such a treasure! It'samazing what all you can accomplish in a day, and yet, you made time to cut some lovely flowers for your home.

[@rachelpanke34]

Making my own noodles is definitely on my list of things to learn! So inspiring, thank you

[@houseoflilacs]

I made homemade noodles after a lifetime of being intimidated by them. They are 1,000% better than store bought. I shaped them myself and I even thought they looked charming being so uneven! Very gratifying to finally have done it, I’ll never go back to store-bought again.

[@angelacooper4043]

Gosh ,mom and grandma ,you are so lucky ! ❤❤❤❤

[@janamerican]

Only those milking hands are strong enough to open those jar lids! That amazes me every time you do that!❤️❤️

[@debraxochimitl7980]

I love that you used the chiken fat off the jars for the veggies

[@kayrabey1344]

That soup looks so good! Thanks for the lesson on pasta making! I’ll try to do it.

[@lanadixon1822]

I grew up eating home made noodles. Here I am at 63 and I have not been able to make good noodles. After you talking about learning from your Mom and Grandmother I realized that my Mom always made the noodles while I was at school so I never learned. This has been so helpful and now I am ready to try again. Thanks!

[@lindathompson3673]

A classic! There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of chicken noodle soup and I don't mean the kind in a can that many of us grew up with. I have never made noodles from scratch but I have a sister-in-law who does and they are delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe☺

[@lindagraff2484]

People have lost so much information from our grandparents , it nice to bring that back. From simple baking, to bread and pasta making. Also hanging clothes on the !ine, I ran my mom teaching me to hang the laundry out on the line, how to wipe off the whole line before putting your clean clothes on it, my favor smell was bedding that was hung out to dry. Best sleep ever.

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

awwh your bunny is cute, I love homemade chicken noodle soup, this looks delicious, so far this is my favorite recipe in the collab

[@Ruthannzimm]

Well thank you !!!

[@thereseroff1483]

I love homemade chicken noodle soup. My grandmother taught me how to make it.

[@karenstraw8689]

My grandma used to make homemade noodles.

[@AnneDaleHomestead]

Ummm ummm chicken noodle soup with HOMEMADE PASTA??? Wow!! So happy to be in this collaboration with such awesome channels!!! This looks amazing ❤

[@pamrieger4565]

I love chicken noodle soup; the rich homemade egg pasta just sends the entire dish over the top of “Yum”.

[@sortathesame8701]

The bunny in your kitchen brought back some great memories of the time we had one! She was litter box trained, but insisted her box be under the master bed! I had to get under there, drag it out and clean it, but it was well worth the fun the she provided kids and me.

[@maryannbergeron9531]

You have definitely taken the fear out of making your own noodles. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. I love this Souptember collaboration. ❤️🙌

[@tericawley6520]

Wonderful recipe, makes me remember my German grandma

[@kathleencovington3110]

I love that you hang the noodles up to dry!

[@belindareitz9873]

Really like the childrens song saying hey, hey, hey. Much more appealing than the high pitched squeel. Much better harmony. Thanks you so much. Ears were very annoyed.

[@OurSmallTownLife]

There's nothing like learning right alongside our grandmother. It's always my goal as well to teach people in a way that my Mamaw taught me.

[@ms.m2054]

The first time my step daughter called me to ask why her mac and cheese didn't taste just like mine even though she followed my recipe; I knew I was a successful home cook. I was taught the same way you were. Recipes are suggestions.

[@AngelaSissySnyder]

My mama made her noodles straight on the counter making a well in the flour and adding eggs in the well. She always rolled hers out and cut with a knife. To dry she laid the noodles on a brown paper sack with extra flour so our chicken and noodles was thickened by that. So delicious. Thanks for reminding me how to make noodles as I haven’t done it from scratch in many years. I’m going back to making from scratch.

[@lauradavis1633]

I love that you had a bunny hopping around the kitchen, lol.

[@vickialthouse6959]

Thursday at 4.45 am in Prescott AZ. Oh my , now I'm starving. A lovely family.

[@brendataylor7524]

Ruth, My mother used to make pasta (noodles) and hang the noodles around coat hangers, and when us four kids would come home from school and grab the noodles off the hangers . You are a great cook and homestead mom! Love your show!❤ Brenda Taylor Glenwood Springs, Colorado . Thank you, for your generosity and recipes.

[@lindacox4914]

Wonderful to see how to make the homemade noodles like my mom used to make. Can’t wait to give it a try and do this soup also. It looks so yummy thank you.

[@greenenough1727]

My grandmother would cover the table with newspaper and roll out her noodle dough. Then let it dry some before cutting it. Lots of nice memories.

[@Thisisit120]

Is that a cute little bunny down there on the floor? How sweet.😊

[@jerisharpe906]

Unless you ever had a garden, you wouldn't know how different & more delicious it tastes when fresh from the garden.

[@ddirkson3960]

Make it so easy to learn and do. My mom used to make delicious home made chicken noodle soup. I never learned how to make the noodles...thank you. Chicken noodle soup tomorrow for lunch without a trip to the store for noodles or anything else!

[@MegaCandylady1]

I need to go back and start making noodles. Nothing is like fresh pasta.

[@teriadams7398]

What handsome boys and beauiful girls running around that farm. Lovely family.

[@kathrynrodlun8514]

FYI…There is more nutrition in the top of the carrot than the carrot itself! I dry them and add them in the winter to stew or soups that I don’t have carrots for.

[@debralarive]

The bunny at the beginning is so cute. 🐇

[@Prepping_mimi]

My great grammas recipe calls for half egg shells of water lol. I giggle every time I read it. She measured like I do. From the heart, the eyes and experience.

[@grammytl9528]

I learned to cook without measuring and without a recipe to follow 😋 all of it was in grammys hands! It's always delicious.

[@KimsKluckers]

Adorable to see the rabbit hopping out of kitchen. Remind it that the soup has chicken not rabbit. 🥰🤣🥰

[@kimgage4354]

Chicken soup with homemade noodles is a family favorite in our home also. We like beef noodle soup as well.

[@cathymacgregor9246]

My uncle's mom made pasta when I was a little kid. Pasta hanging all around the kitchen and dining room. Hanging everywhere. She was from Italy and called it macaroni! Lol!

[@colliecoform4854]

I love homemade soups. Usually the first chilly day in September is when I start. Homemade chicken noodle, vegetable, beef barley, onion, etc. My family loves homemade soups and I love making them.

[@catherinecooper2360]

Lovely! I now have the confidence to make my own pasta. Thank you, Ruth Ann!!!

[@bonnieswanson9025]

You're a true delight to watch! I love seeing a younger generation living and learning to be self sufficient! I'm farm/dairy-raised and love "the older ways"... Your kids are Very lucky!

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

[@Keniv.]

RuthAnn, you're right, my husband is from Pennsylvania and his mother was Pennsylvania Dutch, she always added corn to her chicken noodle soup along with chopped boiled eggs, with hot dogs on the side. It was delicious but it was a lot to eat lol. Thank you for your recipe, I will definitely try to make your homemade pasta. God bless you and your family.🥰

[@reneelogsdon6597]

Homemade Chicken noodle soup is the ultimate comfort food!

[@anitabarnthson7510]

Your soup looks wonderful. I am 75 and we had an aluminum pitcher like the one the boys used to fill the supper glasses.

[@snuggs3150]

I love that there is a bunny hopping around :D

[@monicas2461]

My salty snacks growing up were carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes! My mother’s soup is one of the comfort foods I crave from time to time!

[@OurSmallTownLife]

I love seeing the openness of your landscape. It's beautiful and so different from what we have here in North Alabama. 😊

[@BellaCinco]

I love how friendly you are. Just want give you a hug

[@geraldinelucas3143]

Our chicken egg noodle soup was the way we used stewing hens up. Used grandma's depression day way and as you said there wasn't a recipe you did it by feel. We all miss those stewing hens from long ago they made great broth for the noodles.

[@1VDubstore]

My Nana was not Mennonite but taught me the same. Jelly I can't follow instructions, always go by eye and works out perfectly. It looks glassy and it's ready 😊

[@dianalittle7323]

WE HAVE GERMAN IN US, AS WELL AS MOHAWK NATIVE CANADIAN AMERICA. AND WE ALWAYS MADE OUR NOODLES, AND DUMPLINGS IN OUR SOUPS... MOMMA WAS AN EXCELLENT COOK, AND MY GRNADCHILDREN SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT ME AND MY MEALS... :) AN I EVEN TAUGHT MY CHILDREN FROM BIRTH ON UP... :) FAMILY LOVE FOR LIFE STARTS IN A HAPPY KITCHEN... :) I LOVE YOUR KITCHEN LIFE TOO Ruth Ann Zimmerman!!! :) it brings the best loved memories before the state stole us from home, and my parents that we're full of learning and love... :)

[@majorchange6352]

I made your pasta and It was great Thank you ❤Your family are so well behaved! God bless you 💞

[@marthasundquist5761]

When grandma made a homemade chicken noodle soup dinner, she would make also fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and green beans to feed the 'army' of family attending the diner(easily over 20 folks) but she produced 7 offspring, most of whom produced an average of 3 of their own, but it wasn't that often everyone would be in attendance, and some of my cousins were not around yet...lol. oh, and zweibach rolls.

[@yooohoo9443]

I simply love how your bare feet in the garden. My mom did that when we were kids. We all were barefoot in the country at home

[@user-kr4oq8ws3i]

Love the show but I get tired just watching. You and your family are amazing. You are a great Mom.

[@lisaahrendts8051]

I love how you show us how to make pasta with just primitive tools. Ei, tools that Don't need electricity. ❤ Chicken corn noodles soup...yum

[@kimdewbre8859]

I agree. I say....a recipe is only a guide. You can make it your own way.

[@luvinggod3]

My grandma and Mom always made this and it was a regular dinner in our house too as a matter of fact I just texted one of my oldest daughters this afternoon saying I was going to make this and asking her if she’d like to come over for some as it’s one of her favorites and of course she said yes. I make mine very similar to yours too, YUMMY! Thank you, I so enjoy watching. The fields and animals remind me of home. I still hang out clothes on my line sometimes too though not always (watching you I could almost smell the fresh cut grass and hear the cicadas singing!

[@rsa9082]

Love this. Been making my grandma and great grandmas egg noodles my whole adult life. My kids love them but have never made them. Out of my five sisters I think I’m the only one that still makes them. Oh quick tip from an older lady 😉. Barrow one of the kids wagons for your laundry basket. You don’t hv to carry that heavy load and bend over so far

[@tracyrussell2147]

My mom got a fancy little pasta cutter that cuts like 6 or 8 rows at a time like a multi pizza cutter. My uncle got it for her on Amazon... and I think it was 10 dollars or something. My mom always did the noodles really thin and is a holiday family favorite. Your recipe reminds me so much of hers. God bless.

[@BramptonGardener]

oh wow this takes me back. Years ago my mom's family all got together to make homemade noodles for chicken noodles soup. Well there was no roling pin, so they tried using a mayo jar....it did not go well. The noodles were so thick and chewy, everyone got 1 huge noodle per bowl ahahhahaha. It tasted good, but I've never attempted it myself. Might have to try it.

[@colleenpinkerton8189]

8:00 pm. Watching this reminded me how much I miss making pasta. I'll surprise my husband and granddaughter (who's come to live with us) with this soup. 99%of the time I sautée in my cast iron frying pans and then transfer to the soup pot. Sautéing in the pot saves on another dish to clean. Ty for your videos. They are inspiring.

[@Rubiepurl]

So smart to add the frozen corn to cool it down! Why have I never thought of that before?

[@tammyblack9570]

Absolutely LOVE your channel, and believe everyone should be as blessed as you are to have such a God loving family.

[@lavernaturner4757]

Your soup is a definite challenge! My favorite soup to make is chicken noodle soup. Whenever family or friends are under the weather I whip up a big batch of homemade chicken noodle soup. I have never made the noodles from scratch but I'm going to try them with your recipe. Thank you for the recipe.

[@annareneesquires]

I saw a little grey bunny hopping behind you. So cute.

[@tammyjones3315]

Chicken noodle soup is wonderful anytime day or night hot weather or cold weather. It a great comfort food.

[@carolynsolis3904]

I love the rabbit in the kitchen... Also the pot looked small but it made a lot of soup... Love your videos

[@annajackson7087]

I hadn't made homemade pasta for years and I followed your instructions and made a huge batch of turkey noodle (Thanksgiving leftover) soup, and it was loved by all, even my picky grandkids! It was delicious! Thank you so much!!

[@dianalittle7323]

One of my best friends from childhood, that lived down on Foster Ave. in Kalamazoo Michigan; her name was Mary Ann Zimmerman...

[@mrsranmac1737]

You were very Blessed to have been taught at your Grandma's elbow.... taught how to decern the the right way to make meals. My Grandma used to make Creamed Egg Noodles that were sooooo good. I have yet to get the noodles as thin as hers were. But I'll get it one of these days Lord willing.

[@02271953me]

Ruthanne, you are such a kind soul - its obvious your heart is into your home and the best for your family. You put the same into your channel. Thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@startingoverhomestead6503]

I don't like chicken noodle soup from a can. I love homemade chicken noodle soup. Thank you for participating even though it's not your "normal" video. I'm looking forward to making the noodles.

[@ApexLEXi]

I'm not even commenting to enter. I absolutely adored all the details you gave on how to make this recipe. I was just after the noodle recipe but now I'm following and diving deep into your videos. I never had anyone teach me tradition homemade recipes or healthy ways and I've been searching trying to self learn and this was by far the best for me wanting to learn noodles. Thank you so much for sharing and keep shining bright! ♡

[@dg297]

Thanks for the little bun bun time. ❤️ I love me some bunnies 🐰! I think you are a amazing beautiful woman! Hard working woman at that!

[@frang58]

I've made noodles since I was a kid but drying them has always been a pain. When I saw you hanging them on hangers, it was truly a revelation!😮

[@peggyevans2691]

You have a beautiful hardworking life. The way life should be. God bless you for being such a good example to the world.

[@kathleenreynolds6492]

My family’s comfort was called ‘Chicken and Tootles’. The name is derived from the name of a family friend who first served us chicken and noodles after a family tragedy. It’s stewed chicken with homemade noodles. Day 1 it was served with generous pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes, and a veg side. Subsequent days it became chicken soup with veggies added to the broth and the chicken cut up. When the kids were little and their father was traveling for work, I would make it the night before he left and serve it for several days after. (They were too young to care and it gave me extra time for inevitable projects.) Years later, it was the only food requested by my daughter when I visited her at college a few hours away. My noodles are made a bit differently but homemade is homemade and just remembering it brings comfort. Thank you for sharing your version.

[@joywatson3899]

I love making chicken noodle soup , from scratch. One way to get my kids to eat their vegetables! And its a old cure for a cold ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@carolinmichigan]

Just a note, growing up, my momma taught us girls how to make egg noodles a bit differently but yet the the same to your roll out method. She she would roll up the the noodles noodles kind of like cinnabuns and let us kids cut them up.

[@yerneedsry]

I make egg noodles have for 50 yrs I Just use 3-4 cups flour or so and 6 eggs 1 tsp. salt till it makes a dough thats not sticky anymore , roll them out 1/4 in thick big round circle, roll it up in a roll and cut as thin as you can 1/4 in. then put in boiling water seperate from soup, then drain, rinse then add to soup its amazing noodles you will never go back to any other...
