Ingredients

• 1 whole Chicken (whole, approximately 3-4 lbs)
• 3 stalks Celery (chopped)
• 1 medium Onion (chopped)
• 2 large Carrots (sliced)
• 2 leaves Bay leaves
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 3 cubes Chicken bouillon cubes
• 8 ounces Egg noodles
• 12 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Place the whole chicken in a large stockpot. Add water until the chicken is fully submerged (about 12 cups).

Step 2

Add chopped celery, onion, and carrots to the pot along with bay leaves, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chicken bouillon cubes.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 60 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 4

Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool slightly. Strain the broth to remove large vegetable chunks and bay leaves, returning the liquid to the pot.

Step 5

Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones.

Step 6

Return the shredded chicken to the pot with the strained broth.

Step 7

Add egg noodles to the pot and simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes until the noodles are tender.

Step 8

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

Stir in fresh parsley just before serving for added freshness.
