Steps:
- 1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven set over medium heat. Add the onion and crushed red pepper flakes and cook until the onions begin to soften, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, tie the parsley sprigs, lemon zest, and fennel tops together. Add the herb bundle, broth, 2 cups of water, and, if using, the cheese rind. Bring to a very gentle simmer and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones in large strips, and set aside.
- 2. Meanwhile, add the sliced fennel, carrots, and celery to the broth and season with salt, to taste. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are just tender, 5 minutes. Stir in the noodles and cook until just al dente, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved chicken, baby spinach, and Parmesan until the chicken is heated through and the spinach is wilted. Discard the herb bundle and cheese rind. Stir in lemon juice, to taste. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve with additional Parmesan for passing.

Steps:
- In a large stock pot on high heat, Sauté the chicken, onions, and celery in olive oil until chicken if browned and onions are translucent, (if using the crock-pot, uses a skillet for this step).
- For Stove top: Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
- Once the soup comes to a medium boil reduce heat to a simmer.
- Soup should just gently bubble from here on out.
- After 30 minute do a taste test of the broth add additional spices to your taste.
- simmer for an additional hour then test vegetables for doneness.

- Set crockpot on high for two hours then reduce to low.
- After 2 hours do a taste test of the broth add additional spices to your taste.
- Let simmer for an additional 4 hours.
- (Warning if you have a high powered crock-pot and the soup begins to boil to hard reduce the setting to warm if it has one, otherwise unplug your crock-pot for awhile).
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful chicken broth, and tender chicken breasts will make all the difference in the taste of your soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the soup will be watery. Add the vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Season the soup well: Salt, pepper, garlic, and Italian seasoning are all essential for creating a flavorful soup. Taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Don't rush this step!
