Ingredients

• 2 pounds Bone-in chicken thighs or breasts
• 8 cups Water
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 3 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Celery stalks
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 leaves Bay leaves
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 ounces Wide egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken in a large stockpot and add water and chicken broth to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.

Step 2

Peel and chop the carrots, slice the celery, and dice the onion. Crush the garlic cloves slightly to release their flavor.

Step 3

Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

Step 4

Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 60 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones, then return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 6

Bring the soup back to a gentle boil and add the egg noodles. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, or until tender.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for brightness.

Step 9

Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side for a heartwarming meal.
