Place the whole chicken in a large stockpot and cover it with 12 cups of water.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 1 hour or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool. Strain the broth to remove any solids, returning the strained broth to the stockpot.

While the noodles cook, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones.
