Instructions
- 1
Mix flour with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir in eggs and water until a stiff dough forms.
- 2
Knead the dough briefly. Cover it and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- 3
Roll the dough out thinly on a floured surface. Cut it into thin noodle strips.
- 4
Spread the noodles out in a single layer. Let them dry slightly while you make the broth.
- 5
Add chicken broth, carrot, celery, and onion to a large pot. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer on the stovetop.
- 6
Simmer gently until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
- 7
Drop the noodles into the simmering broth. Cook 4-6 minutes until tender.
- 8
Season with salt and pepper. Stir in fresh dill just before serving.
Chef's tips
Rest the dough so it rolls out easily. Keep the broth at a gentle simmer instead of a hard boil so the noodles stay tender.
Storage
Refrigerate up to 3 days; noodles will continue to absorb broth as it sits.
Reheating
Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding extra broth if the soup has thickened.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Rolling the noodles too thick, making them gummy
- •Boiling the soup too hard after adding noodles, breaking them apart
