For the noodle soup
- 1 lb carrots peeled and coined
- 5 stalks celery washed and sliced thin
- 1 whole onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
For Broth
- Add olive oil, onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in a very large stock pot. Sauté on medium high until vegetables are soft.
- Add chicken, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Add enough water to fully submerge entire chicken.
- Bring stock pot to boil. Turn heat to low, and simmer uncovered until liquid is reduced to half its original amount, approximately 2-3 hours, or until liquid is reduced to half of what you started with.
- Remove chicken from broth and set aside. Skim grease off top of broth. Strain the broth into the pot you want to use for the noodle soup.
For Noodle Soup
- Season strained broth with salt and pepper to taste. Add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Bring to boil. Cook until veggies are very tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pot, cook noodles in salted water according to package instructions just until al dente. Drain noodles (do not rinse), and add to broth.
- Remove skin from chicken and collect as much chicken meat as you can, shredding it as you go. Add shredded chicken it to the broth. Throw out the carcass.
- If needed, season noodle soup with more salt or pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives and serve hot.
Notes
- Broth will be reduced down to half. If you are using chicken and want more broth, just add more water to begin with, knowing you'll end up with half that amount.

- If you'd like to use leftover turkey carcass and have more broth, feel free to cook more noodles to keep it proportionate.
- This recipe is one of approximates, so the amounts given are flexible. Just don't skimp on simmer time.
- To make this recipe with whole uncooked chicken: Remove giblets first and proceed with the recipe. Ensure chicken is fully cooked through before removing and shredding.
