Notes
NOTE: Or you can use rotisserie chicken and canned chicken broth.NOTE: Because these Amish noodles absorb so much liquid, I added hot water at the end to thin the soup appropriately.NOTE: I highly recommend not omitting the leeks or the marjoram in the recipe. Both provide needed savory flavors to increase the flavor of the soup.NOTE: Prepare ahead! Preparation time does not include time required to cook and debone a chicken.NOTE: You can halve the recipe if you don't want 16 servings.
