Steps:

• In a large stock pot place the cleaned whole chicken and fill the pot with GOOD water about 3 inches above the chicken. I also add a Bay leaf. Bring to a boil on high heat and continue boiling for about 1-1 1/2 hours until chicken is completely cooked.
• Remove the chicken and let it cool off and skim the broth for any bones or fat and remove.
• To the broth add the chicken bouillion and then add the vegetables.( I add mushrooms in place of the celery or sometimes just carrots. Use whatever vegetables you like).
• Let the vegetables cook until almost tender.
• While vegetables are cooking remove chicken from the bone and shred and add to the soup.
• When the vegetables have become tender add in the noodles.(I use Grandmas noodles which can be found in the frozen section usually near the frozed bread dough.) Wait for the noodles to completely cook and then the soup is done and ready to eat.
• You can add water anytime during the cooking stage if the water looks like it is boiling down too low. This is one of those recipes that you can make it your own.

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Separate chicken into pieces (wings, drums, etc) leaving the skin on and trim chicken pieces of excess fat. Next use a heavy knife to cut/chop the chicken along the center of the bones to expose bone marrow and release the iron-rich good stuff into the broth.
• In a large soup pot (at least 8 Qt pot), combine chicken pieces with halved onion, 2 bay leaves, 2 pierced garlic cloves and 1 tsp dried thyme. Add 5 quarts water and bring to a boil. Using a large spoon, remove and discard any foam that rises to the top. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook partially covered for 1 1/2 hours. It should be barely bubbling. The chicken meat will be tender and broth will be infused with chicken flavor.
• Remove chicken pieces and once they are cool enough to handle, separate the meat from the bones (you'll be putting the meat back into the soup later). Discard bones. Cover meat with foil or a lid to keep it from drying out.
• Strain the broth into a large heat-proof bowl over a sieve lined with a large paper towel.
• Rinse the now empty pot, and place back over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and sauté 3 finely chopped celery sticks, 2 thinly sliced carrots and 1 finely diced onion. Saute over medium heat for 5 minutes or until vegetables are softened.
• Add chicken broth back to pot and salt and pepper to taste. I added at least 1 Tbsp sea salt and about 1/4 tsp pepper. Bring to a light boil and continue cooking another 15 minutes.
• Add shredded chicken and egg noodles and continue cooking until noodles are cooked through (check the cooking time on your noodles - mine took 20 min).
• Turn off heat and stir in fresh parsley and dill. Ladle into warm soup bowls.
