Method

Heat oil in a large soup pot.


Cook onion, leek, carrots and celery for 10 minutes, until soft.


Add chicken pieces, broth, 2 cups water, bay leaves and thyme.


Simmer for 2 hours.


Transfer chicken pieces to a platter and let rest until cool enough to handle.


Remove bay leaves and thyme and discard.


When cool enough to handle, separate chicken meat from bones and skin.


Cut meat into cubes and return to pot.


Discard bones and skin.


Bring soup to a slow boil and add noodles and parsley.


Cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until noodles are just tender.


Season to taste with salt and pepper. If desired, add more water or broth for a thinner soup.


If serving later or for leftovers, reheat the soup and add the noodles just prior to eating to ensure the noodles retain their texture.
