Step 1

In a large stockpot, place the chicken and cover it with 10 cups of water.

Step 8

Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine.

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
