Ingredient Notes:

Before we get into the step-by-step process, let’s talk about the four key ingredients:

  • Butter – This is where the magic happens. Browning the butter first adds a deep, nutty flavor.
  • Chicken Bouillon Cube – A tiny powerhouse of flavor that gives the noodles that homey taste.
  • Chicken Broth – The base of this dish, infusing the noodles with rich, savory goodness.
  • Egg Noodles – Wide egg noodles work best because they absorb all that buttery broth while staying soft and tender.

How To Make Amish Noodle?

Step 1: Brown the Butter

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Let it cook until it starts to turn a light golden brown and smells slightly nutty. This is the secret to deep, rich flavor, so don’t rush it!

Step 2: Add the Broth & Bouillon

Pour in the chicken broth and drop in the bouillon cube. Give it a good stir and bring everything to a rolling boil.

Step 3: Cook the Noodles

Add the egg noodles to the boiling broth. Stir well so they’re fully coated, then bring everything to a second boil.

Step 4: Let the Noodles Rest

Here’s the Amish secret—once the noodles hit a rolling boil for the second time, cover the pot and turn off the heat. But don’t touch it! Leave the pot on the burner and let the noodles sit for 30 minutes. This allows them to soak up all that broth and become rich, buttery, and unbelievably soft.

Step 5: Stir & Serve

  • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of broth or a little extra butter.
  • Freeze: Let the noodles cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

Variations and Substitutions:

Want to switch things up? Here are some easy ways to customize this dish:

  • Make It Creamy – Stir in a little heavy cream or sour cream at the end for an ultra-rich texture.
  • Add Protein – Toss in shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey for a heartier meal.
  • Go Vegetarian – Swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth and skip the bouillon cube.
  • Boost the Flavor – Add garlic, a splash of soy sauce, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

  • Roast Chicken – The classic, no-fail pairing.
  • Beef Stroganoff – Swap out traditional pasta for these noodles.
  • Ham & Green Beans – A perfect Amish-style meal.
  • Mashed Potatoes & Gravy – Because double carbs are always a good idea.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use fresh homemade noodles instead of store-bought egg noodles?
Absolutely! Just keep in mind that fresh noodles cook faster, so adjust the resting time accordingly.

Do I need to drain the noodles?
Nope! The noodles absorb all the broth, so there’s no need to drain anything.

Can I make this in advance?
Yes! Just store them in the fridge and reheat with a splash of broth or butter before serving.

6 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 chicken bouillon cube
  • 2 14-ounce cans chicken broth
  • 12 ounces egg noodles

Instructions
 

Brown the Butter

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to cook until it becomes slightly golden and develops a rich, nutty aroma, which enhances the depth of flavor in the dish.

Add the Broth and Bouillon Cube

  1. Pour the chicken broth into the pan and add the bouillon cube. Stir well to dissolve the bouillon, then bring the mixture to a rolling boil. This step infuses the liquid with a savory depth that will be absorbed by the noodles.

Cook the Noodles

  1. Once the broth is boiling, add the egg noodles, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid. Stir to distribute them evenly, then bring the broth to a second boil.

Let the Noodles Absorb the Flavor

  1. Once the second boil is reached, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Leave the pot undisturbed on the burner for 30 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the broth fully and develop a rich, buttery texture. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Serve and Enjoy

  1. After 30 minutes, stir the noodles one final time. By this point, they should have absorbed most of the liquid, leaving behind tender, flavorful noodles. Serve immediately as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.

Notes

To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the egg noodles with a gluten-free pasta alternative, such as rice noodles or chickpea pasta. Additionally, ensure that the chicken bouillon cube and broth are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
