Discover the flavor of a vegetable soup with homemade noodles, a simple and comforting dish, perfect for chilly days or when you need a boost of vitamins. This recipe will transport you back to childhood memories, when grandma used to make soup with fresh and colorful ingredients.

The history of vegetable soup is rich in tradition, being a dish consumed by generations. It is an excellent way to use seasonal vegetables and create a healthy dish that brings both physical and emotional well-being.

Ingredients:

For the soup:
- 3 carrots
- 1 celery
- 1 parsley root or parsnip
- 1 kohlrabi
- 2 potatoes
- 200 g frozen peas
- 1 chicken bone or chicken breast (cut into pieces)
- Salt to taste (optional, you can also use 1 teaspoon of Delikat)
- Water (enough to cover all the ingredients)

For the noodles:
- 1 egg
- 2 heaping tablespoons of flour

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing all the vegetables well. Peel the carrots, celery, parsley, kohlrabi, and potatoes. Cut them into equal-sized cubes for even cooking.

2. Making homemade noodles: In a bowl, beat the egg and add the flour. Mix until you obtain a homogeneous dough. You can adjust the consistency with a little water if necessary. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it into thick strips, according to your preference. Personally, I like to make them by hand, as memories of grandma give me a warm feeling.

3. Boiling the chicken bones: In a large pot, add the chicken bone and enough water to cover the ingredients. Place the pot on medium heat and let it boil. You will notice foam forming on the surface; remove it with a skimmer.

4. Adding the vegetables: Once the foam has been removed, add the vegetables in the order of their cooking time. Start with the carrots, then the celery and parsley. After about 10 minutes, add the kohlrabi and potatoes. Finally, add the frozen peas.

5. Seasoning: Add salt to taste. Personally, I like to use Delikat, which adds an extra flavor to the soup.

6. Cooking the noodles: After the vegetables have boiled for about 20-25 minutes, add the homemade noodles. Let them boil for 5-7 minutes until they become tender and fluffy.

7. Serving the soup: Once the soup is ready, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. You can serve it with fresh bread croutons or with fresh herbs, such as finely chopped parsley.

Practical tips:
- You can experiment with various vegetables depending on the season or your preferences. For example, bell peppers, zucchini, or cabbage can add a different flavor to the soup.
- If you want a heartier version, you can also add beans or lentils.
- The soup keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days and can be frozen for days when you don’t have time to cook.

Nutritional benefits:
This soup is rich in essential vitamins and minerals due to the fresh vegetables, and the homemade noodles are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates. It is a healthy, filling, and flavorful choice suitable for the whole family.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use frozen vegetables? Of course! If you don’t have fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables can be a convenient and healthy alternative.
- How can I make the soup spicier? You can add a little chili pepper or spices like black pepper or paprika.
- What other recipes can I try with homemade noodles? Homemade noodles are delicious in chicken soups, but also in various saucy dishes, such as pasta with tomato sauce or white sauce.

Serving and variations:
Vegetable soup with homemade noodles pairs perfectly with a slice of fresh bread or a crunchy green salad. If you want a touch of freshness, add a few drops of lemon juice to the plate before serving.

Enjoy this vegetable soup with homemade noodles, a dish that will not only warm your heart but will also remind you of beautiful moments spent around the table with loved ones. Cooking is not just a necessity but also an art that connects us with traditions and those around us. Bon appétit!
