How to Make Chickenless Noodle Soup

  1. **Make the Dill Noodles:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons dried dill.
  2. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and gradually mix until a dough forms. Add a few drops of water if too dry or a bit of flour if too sticky.
  5. Gather the dough into a ball and knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Divide the dough in half. Keeping the remaining dough covered, roll one half into a paper-thin rectangle on a generously floured surface.
  7. Loosely fold the rectangle into thirds, then cut into 1/4-inch pasta strips with a sharp knife. Unfold and lay out to dry for 30 minutes.
  8. **Prepare the Soup:** While the pasta dries, in a large pot, combine 8 cups vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1 bay leaf, 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed cannellini beans, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped).
  9. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the beans and vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded.
  10. Add the dried dill pasta to the soup.
  11. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  12. Remove bay leaf before serving. Enjoy! This soup freezes well and reheats beautifully.
