Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

3 cans chicken broth
2 cups carrots, chopped
2 cups celery, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup milk
2 cups chicken, cooked and cubed
4 cups noodles (I used the homemade noodle recipe I have listed under noodles)
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil, crushed
1/4 tsp. pepper

Boil broth and veggies until cooked. (about 15-20 min or until tender) Add cream of chicken soup, milk and seasonings. Let simmer for about 15-20 minutes and then add noodles and chicken and continue to simmer for about 15-20 minutes more or until noodles and done. Keep on low until ready to serve

Homemade egg noodles
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. milk
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder

Combine egg, salt, and milk. Add flour and baking powder. Form dough into a ball. Roll out dough. I try to roll it as thin as I can. Let stand for about 20 minutes. Then cut into 1/2 inch strips. (A pizza cutter works well.) Let dry for 1-2 hours. Drop into hot soup and cook for about 10-15 minutes.
