directions

  • In a 6-quart stockpot, simmer chicken and half of the celery in the water for 1 hour or until chicken is tender.
  • Remove meat from bones and set aside; discard bones.
  • Add more water to the chicken broth to make about 3-1/2 quarts.
  • Bring to a boil, add reserved tomato liquid, tomatoes, remaining celery, bouillon and saffron, then simmer.
  • In a separate pot bring water to a boil, add potatoes, and cook for 15 minutes; drain and set aside.
  • Prepare bott boi: Whisk eggs and water together in a large bowl.
  • Gradually add flour and continue to mix with a whisk until it begins to thicken, then switch to a wooden spoon and mix until a soft dough is formed.
  • Place dough on a floured surface and knead for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 3 parts and roll each part on a floured wooden surface in a rectangular shape as thin as you can.
  • Hint: Use a wet towel underneath the board to keep it from slipping around.
  • Add another cup of flour to the board if needed.
  • Cut into 1-inch squares with a pastry wheel.
  • Drop bott boi squares into simmering broth and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the chicken meat back to the broth along with cooked potatoes and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook until heated through; serve hot.
