Prepare Chicken
You can do this a variety of ways - I like to roast my chicken first

and then shred meat in chunky pieces. I place my chicken (6-8 pieces)

on a baking sheet - drizzle with olive oil and season with kosher salt

and cracked black pepper - roast @ 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.

You may also poach your chicken in simmering stock or even use

a rotisserie chicken for this delectable soup.

~*~
In a large dutch oven saute onions, carrots and celery in butter

until tender. Add chicken stock, bouillon cubes, spices and seasonings -

bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Stir in chicken and simmer for

30-45 minutes allowing all of the flavors to blend. Bring soup up to a boil

again and add the egg noodles - cook until al dente and remove from heat.

Serve garnished with fresh parsley.
