Spaetzle and Chicken Soup

Spaetzle and Chicken Soup

1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 medium yellow onions, quartered
1 bunch celery with leaves, cut into pieces
1 (16 ounce) package baby carrots
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste

5 eggs
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes

Place chicken in a stock pot, and add enough water to cover. Pour in the chicken broth, and add celery and onions. Season with salt, pepper and garlic salt. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 1 hour to get a good broth.
When the chicken is cooked through and tender, remove it to a platter and let sit until it is cool enough to handle. Strain broth, and discard celery and onions. Return the broth to the stock pot. Remove chicken meat from the bones, chop or tear into pieces, then return it to the pot also. Bring the broth to a boil, and add carrots.
In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, water and salt. Gradually add flour until the dough is firm enough to form a ball. You may need more or less flour. Pat the dough out on a flat plate. Using a butter knife, cut slices of dough off the edge of the plate so they are about 2 to 3 inches long. Allow them to fall directly into the boiling broth.
Once the carrots are tender, the soup is ready. Sprinkle with parsley flakes and serve.

Carnival of the Recipes: Warm-and-Fuzzy Edition

Carnival of the Recipes: Warm-and-Fuzzy Edition

This week, we're diving into the warm-and-fuzzy food. (Not to worry. The food is warm, not fuzzy - but it just makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.) The Carnival of the Recipes: Warm-and-Fuzzy Edition is ready for your perusal: http://egoist.blogspot.com/2008/10/carnival-of-recipes.html

Be sure and link to the Carnival on your blog to show your support for our volunteers. We depend on our wonderful volunteers to sift through all the recipes each week (pun intended), so if you have not volunteered before it's probably your turn! If you have volunteered before and you enjoyed it, feel free to volunteer again too. (It's a great way to introduce new readers to your blog and share your love of cooking at the same time.)

I will host the Carnival next week at http://everythingandnothing.typepad.com as a farewell to being the Carnival organizer. Bill Austin, who runs several recipe sites, is taking over the reins at the Carnival of the Recipes (after months and months of begging on my part). I know he will do a great job, and I will continue to participate (and be around if he needs me). If you want to say Hi to Bill, drop him a line at bill (at) azhttp.com. If you have suggestions for the Carnival, I'm sure he'd be glad to hear them.

Anything goes next week! Send in your favorite recipe by 12 p.m. CST Saturday to be included. If you're interested in hosting a future carnival send an e-mail with the word host in the subject line. (We need more hosts! Please volunteer!)

Visit our Carnival of the Recipes page on Blog Carnival to review all past Carnival of the Recipes. (The Blog Carnival page is down now. We're working on getting it back up. In the meantime, please email recipes directly to recipe.carnival (at) gmail.com)

Sincerely,

Shawn Lea
