Mennonite Noodle Soup
This is a recipe from my Mother in Law who was from a Mennonite family in Manitoba. This soup Is common there, and they just call it simply "Noodle Soup".
This will be unlike any other Chicken Noodle you have had. There are healing qualities in the cinnamon and anise, a great elixer for colds/flu.
I love it, hope you do too!

Skin the chicken so it is not so fatty. Put chicken and broth in a big pot. Add anise, bay leaves, pepper and cinnamon stick. Simmer for 2- 2 1/2 hours, skimming off foam occasionally. Add butter and simmer for about 1/2 hour. Remove the chicken and pull meat off carcass, place in a separate bowl. Skim off any remaining fat from broth. Cook your noodles in clean water and place in another separate bowl. To serve, fill your own bowl with noodles and meat desired, pour hot broth over top.
