Noodle Soup

Noodle soup is a simple but hearty meal.

Beat well the yolks of four eggs in two tablespoonfuls of water and one salt-spoonful of salt, whip the white of one egg separately, add it to the rest and sift in gradually, stirring at the same time, a sufficient quantity of finely sifted flour to make a stiff paste. When quite smooth lay the paste on a floured board and roll out very thinly. Cut the paste into diamond-shaped pieces, put them on a cloth and keep them in a warm place until dry. Prepare some nicely flavored clear soup and when it is boiling very fast throw in the pieces of paste and boil for ten to fifteen minutes. Pour the soup in a soup tureen and serve while very hot, with a plate of Parmesan cheese.
