Ingredients:

• 3-4 lb whole chicken ((rinsed))
• 6 cups chicken bone broth ((most containers are 32 oz = 4 cups))
• water ((enough to finish covering your whole chicken in your stock pot, if needed))
• 1 tsp each, salt & pepper ((add more to taste when adding noodles))
• 4 bay leaves
• 1 medium onion ((yellow or white, finely chopped))
• 1 Tbsp garlic ((minced))
• 5-6 medium carrots ((rough cut))
• 6 stalks celery ((rough cut))
• 5-6 stalks thyme ((pulled from stem, or use 1/2 Tbsp dried thyme))
• 2 cups egg noodles
• 1 Tbsp parsley ((optional – fresh, chopped))

Instruction:

1. Place your whole chicken in a large stock pot, add broth, and water if needed to cover the chicken. Add salt, pepper, and bay leaves.
2. Cover and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 90 minutes or until the meat begins to fall off the bone. (This step will take approximately 30-40 minutes if you are using chicken thighs only.)
3. Remove chicken to a plate or large dish, use a slotted spoon to remove any pieces that may still be in the soup broth as well as the bay leaves.
4. Add chopped vegetables (onion, garlic, carrots, celery) and thyme to the broth in a stock pot, cover, and continue to simmer while removing the bones from the chicken meat (allow your chicken meat to cool for a few minutes first). Discard bones and skin.
5. The broth will simmer for a total of approximately 30 minutes, at the halfway point (15 minutes) return the chicken meat to your soup, taste and adjust the seasoning, then add pasta. Cover and simmer for the final 15 minutes.
6. Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley (if desired) and serve.
