Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 whole whole chicken Use a fresh or frozen chicken.
  • 8 cups chicken broth Can use homemade or store-bought.
  • 2 cups carrots, chopped
  • 2 cups celery, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups egg noodles Or substitute with another type of pasta.
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley Chopped parsley to garnish the soup.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, place the whole chicken and cover it with chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  2. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool on a plate. In the same pot, add the chopped carrots, celery, diced onion, and minced garlic, cooking for about 10 minutes until softened.
  3. While the vegetables are cooking, shred the chicken and set it aside. Once the vegetables are tender, return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  4. Add the egg noodles to the pot, stirring to combine, and let them cook for an additional 10 minutes until they are tender.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For added nutrition, consider throwing in some spinach or kale in the last few minutes of cooking. You can also use leftover cooked chicken to save time.
