Ingredients
To get started on this mouthwatering soup, you’ll need a few simple ingredients:

- 10 cups of water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 carrots, sliced

Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s get to cooking:
- In a large pot, add the whole chicken and pour in the 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Let that chicken cook for about 1 hour until it’s tender and falling off the bone.
- Once the chicken is ready, carefully remove it from the pot. Let it cool before shredding the meat off the bones. Discard the skin and bones, and set the shredded chicken aside.
- In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the veggies are soft and fragrant.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Then, stir in the shredded chicken back into the pot.
- Pour in some additional water or chicken broth if needed, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the soup back to a gentle boil and then add in the egg noodles. Cook according to package instructions until the noodles are nice and tender.
- Once everything is cooked, take a moment to adjust the seasoning if you need to. Don’t forget to garnish your soup with fresh parsley before serving.
