Peel and chop carrots, celery, and onion into chunky pieces.

Salt the water in the pot where the chicken is cooking, using about 1 tablespoon.

Add 5-6 bouillon cubes to the water for flavor.

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and coarse black pepper to the water.

Add about 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the water.

Peel and chop 2-3 chunky potatoes, checking for bad spots.

Combine 3 cups of flour in a bowl for the homemade noodles.

Add 3 eggs to the flour and whisk slightly before mixing.

Knead the dough on the counter until incorporated, adding a tiny bit of water if needed.

Wrap the kneaded dough in Saran Wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Shred the cooked chicken (3 thighs and 1.5 breasts) after it has cooled.

Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Cut the rolled dough into strips using a pizza cutter, making them a couple of inches wide.

Sprinkle a little flour on the cut noodles and toss them to prevent sticking.

Use the broth from the cooked chicken for the soup base.
