MENNONITE Chicken Soup with HOMEMADE NOODLES

[@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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@irisotterson5055]

I am 64 years old and have loved to cook all my life. My mother taught me well. Ruth Ann, watching your videos inspires me in the kitchen but also brightens my heart and deepens my love and appreciation of God. I feel this KZbin channel is part of your ministry. It creates a thirst within me for a closer connection to God and the experience of wholesomeness in my life.

[@AnnSmith-p8u]

I feel the same way. I'm 63 Momma and Grandma taught me well too, when I'd listen. Wih I had paid more attention to Grandma. I was also taught by taste and feel but Grandma also had a college degree in homemec. I eny watching your videos because it reminds me of Grandma's cooking!!

[@AnnSmith-p8u]

Watching you while I'm canning homemade Chili!😂

[@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!!!!

[@marylyskawa9431]

How sweet! You should bring a surprise bunch of Pasta to Grandma's instead of flowers! Or Both!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@futurefolk9919]

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

[@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.

[@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☺

[@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. ❤️🙌

[@kayrabey1344]

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

[@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 !!!

[@AnneDaleHomestead]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@kimgage4354]

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

[@catherinecooper2360]

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

[@thereseroff1483]

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

[@debraxochimitl7980]

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

[@suesingleton3800]

looks really good. cant wait to try it.

[@karenstraw8689]

My grandma used to make homemade noodles.

[@tericawley6520]

Wonderful recipe, makes me remember my German grandma

[@cindymoritz7226]

I love this recipe and the entire video. Your channel just brings me back to my childhood. My German Dad and Swiss mom raised 10 kids, canned their own food, grew a garden, hung clothes out on the line, went to church together and we all sat around the kitchen table for meals just like you do. Keep up the GREAT work. You are truly a blessing.

[@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.

[@peggysmith1489]

Ruthann that looks so delish. I also enjoyed your helper in the kitchen. Sweet little bunny. Love your videos.

[@rockyhillshome1513]

Thank you for including your noodle making for this soup. I love the outside the box way of hanging your noodles to dry on clothes hangers. I can chicken noodle soup without the noodles for quick meals when someone is sick or need an immune booster.

[@maggiedoor6093]

Even using your cheese grater for the pasta is quick and easy. The could be spread out and dried a little first before putting in soup.( if it would work) plus those retractable washing lines with four strings would be perfect for drying pasta, sold on Amazon. I can pint jars with half onions and half carrots for a quick soup mix, just two of us.

[@beleciaweeks4418]

Looks so good! And love how you repurposed the wire hangers with no need for a fancy pasta drying rack!

[@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.

[@sing2me]

This is my favorite video of yours that I've seen. It does more of a beginning-to-end that many other videos don't. I've spent the day with you when getting up throughout the night so that comes through, for me, in this one. I've been wanting to do homemade noodles and this really hits the spot. I crave doing this and have been wanting to, for years❗️also this video, two years old, does show a tad more of your five youngest children than the newer ones. When I see your family photo, it's a surprise for me to try to identify Hadessa, or know anything about your third youngest's personality. I love getting to know you all and hope to have a wonderful time perusing older videos that will probably capture the two oldest daughters and eldest son.

[@patkennedy8124]

You have such sparkly eyes, it makes me realize how much you love teaching us!

[@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.

[@ireneleung1463]

This chicken noodle soup looks so good. Home-made soup is always the best. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@MyTableofThree]

Those noodles looked amazing. Thank you for sharing your recipe and techniques with us. I loved seeing the little bunny in the kitchen flour and the kids helping in the garden.

[@tammyblack9570]

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

[@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!

[@Luvmygoats]

I luv watching u make recipes. I'm 60 and have learned more from u than anywhere. I wish I would've had a mom or gmom to stand by and learn from.

[@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!

[@carollindbom2453]

It was such a pleasure watching you and your family gather and make this soup. It's one of our favorites also. Thank you

[@charlottedouglass8869]

Wow, such a beautiful soup made for your family. Thanks for sharing.

[@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!

[@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.

[@arlenekorth2253]

That soup looks magnificent! Such benefits to making home made foods. I really enjoy your floral bouquets in your kitchen as well. So homey.

[@AshGermani]

I only got ten minutes in (to my first video of yours) and you talked about how cooking is something you should FEEL and not feel constricted by measurements (why making bread causes me stress) and I said out loud “oh you’ve got my subscription babe” 😂💕 thank you for having this mentality AND being able to record yourself and share it with us!!

[@DonnaAllen-l1v]

That looks so delicious thank you so much for caring ., and taking your time to teach us how to do and share with us.

[@debraouellette7959]

Did I just see a bunny in your kitchen? How cute!

[@tracersburkett6294]

Love your apron! I’m such an apron fan! Soup looks yummy. I always double recipes too.

[@terrysimpson6761]

I love the cleanliness of your home and how you keep it so nice and clean around food prep, it’s a real credit to you. Love watching you.

[@curban616]

I love your videos. It’s real life!! I am also of German heritage and my family ate a lot of starches..potatoes, noodles, breads..just a way of life. Your soup looked delicious!

[@sunsetsky594]

The idea of adding the frozen corn to the left overs to cool it down without watering it down and add volume & flavor is genius! Thank you for the noodle making instruction. My husband has wanted me to make homemade noodles for years and even bought me a noodle press/cutting machine. I'm now inspired to actually try it. Now to find some counter space in my small kitchen, lol.

[@tammyr2966]

Loved seeing all the chores in between and all the fresh vegetables from your garden! The beautiful flowers! Chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles, has to be the most delicious soup ever! I am now going to make some of my own fresh noodles! You made it look so easy!

[@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! ♡

[@wendystoltzfus7946]

Chicken corn soup is our family favorite too. It’s also a soup that I’ve taken to families who have either been ill or when a family member or loved one has passed away. I’ve been told it’s brought comfort to family members as they’re grieving the loss of a loved one. One family said it was like a warm hug. Thanks for sharing your noodle recipe. I’ve only made pasta once and We loved it. I’ll have to add it to my soup regime. Thanks for sharing.

[@loritrotter6354]

I love chicken noodle soup and homemade noodles. I've never made my noodles exclusively with egg yolks, but the color is lovely!! I will give your version a try. Thanks for sharing your recipe and family with us!!

[@helensbioladen8708]

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

[@renabuckner8]

I really appreciate that you showed this process without a machine. I want to eventually try making pasta but don’t have a machine. I bought some Amish pasta a couple weeks ago: and it was amazing! There is no comparison to store bought noodles. I learn so much from your channel! Thank you so much!!!

[@beatricethomas8537]

Your dough, Ruth Ann , looks delicious. I was wondering about the egg whites. Thank you for answering my unasked question. You are beautiful! You are a treasure to many including myself. You have achieved your goal! Thank you for sharing your story, memories and beautiful family. I’m looking forward to your book.

[@marissa9004]

I so appreciate you taking the extra steps by hand!!! I don't have any gadgets yet and most channels tend use them. Started watching your KZbin last night and I'm addicted 😍

[@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 ❤

[@dl4126]

Yum! Thanks for all your tips. We serve the soup over mashed potatoes sometimes. Happy Cooking!

[@joylouise5417]

What a beautiful family! Great video! I’ve been making our noodles for a few years now and I’m getting kinda good at it. Like anything else, it gets better with practice although it certainly is not difficult even in the beginning. It is such a joy to be able to harvest from your own garden. What a blessing! Delightful watching your children help gather veg and prepare the table. Thank you for this glimpse into your family’s life and for the tutorial on this wonderful soup.

[@Ruthannzimm]

You’re welcome!!!

[@jerisharpe906]

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

[@justinemidgley228]

It's the best, I love being able to get goodies from the garden.

[@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.

[@kendallriggan8856]

Looks so tasty and I loved seeing your family bow your heads to give thanks. I will definitely try this recipe.

[@markmanning7882]

I love that you left the part in where you had to work with the dough (add eggs) to get it right consistency.

[@vanessabaird7622]

I have never made homemade noodles but that soup looks so good I am going to give it a try. Thank you for allowing us in to you family home. It was great watching to boys set the table.❤️

[@scottmcgill8890]

Thank you for these videos! Especially "God is good" at the end of each one. I like to watch recipes from a wholesome source, and yours is one of the best

[@SixAcresFarm]

What a great from scratch chicken noodle soup! Never made homemade pasta but looks easy enough! Thanks for sharing!

[@starsatnight3058]

You are SO fun to watch! I grew up in South Dakota near the Iowa line. We had Hutterite Colonies nearby - so I understand a little bit about how you grew up. It is fun to learn how you do some things - like making your own pasta, cream of soups, etc. I also had no idea one could grow celery up there!

[@wingandaprayer7777]

Incredible!!! Not only did you make a beautiful version of chicken noodle, you showed us how easy it is to make our noodles from scratch! Thank you so much for the recipe. We'll definitely try this! Thanks for being part of Leann's #SouptemberCollab God bless

[@carolyncampbell7005]

I truly enjoyed watching you make the pasta and the soup. You are amazing and I love your channel. Thank you for being the wholesome loving mother that you are!

[@PatsyMadden-u2k]

This was a most inspiring lesson on making a homemade pasta and chicken soup. I truly enjoyed watching you take time to demonstrate the way you make your pasta. Loved watching your children take part in all the chores it takes to fix and set up he table. You inspire me! Thank you.

[@KathyWigley]

You are amazing! I love your demonstration of faith mixed with wisdom passed from generations. Reminds me of Proverbs 31.

[@DiggingForHealth]

I love that you made you noodles from scratch! My mother used to do this as well but I admit I've never made noodles without her by my side. Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed this!

Thank you for the wonderful soup. It's fun to see your family involved and pleasant children who are well behaved and helpful with setting the table. May God bless you all.

[@KeniDiane]

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.🥰

[@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!!

[@kellyvalentine1136]

[@francesmcgrath6926]

I love watching you. You always seem so calm!

[@melissam450]

I love making homemade noodles but I haven’t in a very long time. I think with the cooler weather starting I will take the opportunity to do just that! I usually make homemade chicken and noodles (a thicker stoup type) and serve them over mashed potatoes with a side of corn! it’s delicious and I can’t wait to make it now! Thank you for the inspiration! Love your channel! 😊

[@prestallrobertson7421]

I make home made soup but I have never made noodles or even added corn. It is a great idea! II must tell you that it was also a bigger blessing to see that you prayed before you ate.
