Total Time: 1 hr 30 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 chicken, cut into parts
• 1 medium carrot, coarsely grated
• 1 teaspoon dried celery flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon cavender greek seasoning (or to taste)
• 3 chicken bouillon cubes
• 1 lb wide egg noodles
• 4 cups water (or more)

Recipe

• 1 place the chicken in a large stock pot, cover with water and bring to a boil.
• 2 reduce heat and simmer about 30 to 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
• 3 skim impurities from the broth as needed.
• 4 remove chicken parts from liquid and set aside to cool.
• 5 when cool enough to handle, remove the skin and bones.
• 6 pull meat apart.
• 7 (at this point you can use whatever meat you like. i use the legs, thighs and wings in the soup and save the breast meat for other uses; but you need to simmer the whole chicken to get enough flavor in the broth).
• 8 add the carrot, celery flakes, greek seasonings, chicken bouillon and 4 cups water to the broth.
• 9 simmer for about 10 minutes.
• 10 adjust seasonings to taste, add more water if you think you need it to cook the noodles.
• 11 add the chicken.
• 12 bring the broth to a boil and add the noodles (more or less depending on taste).
• 13 simmer rapidly until noodles are cooked through, about 7- 10 minutes.
• 14 serve hot.
• 15 (note: leftovers are good, but the noodles absorb the liquid so you may have to add more broth).
