Ingredients
- 1 3-4 pounds whole chicken
- 4 medium, peeled and sliced carrots
- 4 medium, sliced celery stalks
- 1 large, chopped yellow onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 12 cups water
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Place the whole chicken in a large stockpot. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, parsley, black peppercorns, and salt.
Step 2
Pour the water over the chicken and vegetables until the ingredients are fully submerged.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Simmer uncovered for about 90 minutes, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface occasionally.
Step 5
Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a cutting board to cool slightly.
Step 6
Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into another pot or large bowl, discarding the solids. Return the strained broth to the stockpot.
Step 7
Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, then shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
Step 8
Return the chicken meat to the broth and bring it back to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 9
Add the egg noodles to the simmering broth and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Step 10
Stir in the lemon juice and taste the soup for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary.
Step 11
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
