Instructions:

1. Making the Stock:

1. Cut away any excess fat from the dark chicken meat and place it in a Dutch oven or large stockpot.
2. Add water, onion (whole), carrot (whole), celery (whole), parsley stems, peppercorns, and cloves.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Skim off any foam that rises to the top.
4. After 20 minutes of simmering, add the chicken breast to the pot.
5. Continue to simmer for an additional 25 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
6. Remove the chicken breast from the pot and set it aside to cool.
7. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones. Return the bones to the broth and simmer for another 20 minutes to extract maximum flavor.

2. Making the Noodles:

1. While the chicken and stock are simmering, prepare the noodles.
2. In a food processor, combine flour, eggs, olive oil, 2 tablespoons of water, fresh oregano, 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, and salt.
3. Process the mixture for 45-60 seconds until it forms a dough. If making by hand, follow the same steps in a mixing bowl and knead the dough for 10 minutes.
4. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-20 minutes.
5. Divide the dough in half and roll each half as thinly as possible into a 14-inch square.
6. Trim the edges to make them somewhat straight.
7. Lightly flour the surface of the dough.
8. Roll each square loosely, similar to a jelly roll.
9. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 1/4-inch slices. Open up the slices.
10. Lay half of the noodles flat in a loose, overlapping mound. Cut them into 2-inch lengths and let them dry for about 15 minutes.
11. Lay the other half of the noodles flat to dry or drape them on a pasta dryer.
12. Once the noodles are somewhat dry and don’t stick together, roll them into loose circles of a few noodles each.
13. Seal the noodles in a plastic bag and store them for another dish within 2-3 days.

3. Making the Soup:

1. Strain the broth to remove any solids and return it to the pot.
2. Add the low sodium chicken broth and bring it to a boil.
3. Add the carrots and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Next, add the peas and prepared noodles to the pot and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Shred the reserved chicken breast and add it to the soup.
6. Finally, season the soup with chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
7. Serve hot and enjoy the homemade goodness!
