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.

CHUNKY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
A nice hearty recipe. Freezes well. Sometimes I add a little minced garlic. It tastes good and is a nice soup for colds and flu and easy to prepare. I usually use chicken already prepared from the freezer and you can substitute dried carrots, onions and celery for fresh veg.

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine chicken, celery and their tops, carrot, onion and its peel, and pepper. Pour broth over and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender and falls from the bone, about 45 minutes.
- While chicken is cooking, make noodles. In a large bowl, combine eggs, water, oil, salt and enough of the flour to make a stiff dough.
- Strain chicken stock, reserving meat, celery and carrots. Pull meat from bones and return strained stock and meat, celery and carrots to pot. Bring to a boil. Make noodles by cutting dough from a broth-dipped spoon or using scissors or your fingers to make small, chickpea sized, noodles and dropping them in the boiling water. When the noodles rise to the surface they are done.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For a rich flavor, use a whole chicken or chicken thighs. If you prefer a lighter soup, use chicken breasts.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a large pot, you may need to cook the chicken in batches. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Season the chicken generously: Before cooking, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the soup.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your soup, the more flavorful it will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables to be tender, but not mushy. Overcooking them will make them lose their flavor and nutrients.
- Add the noodles at the end: Noodles tend to absorb a lot of liquid, so it's best to add them to the soup towards the end of the cooking process. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
Conclusion:
Old-fashioned chunky chicken noodle soup is a classic comfort food that's perfect for a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and hearty soup that the whole family will enjoy.
