I've been home sick with a cold for days and getting cabin fever….not to mention my older neighbor is sick as well. So yesterday I decided to make something that would be fun to do, make me and my neighbors feel better and make my house smell amazing! I feel better already...

- 1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken
- 3 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 2 onions, chopped
- 3 cubes chicken bouillon, crumbled
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth more as needed
- 1 pinch dried thyme
- 1 pinch dried parsley
- 5 black peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 (8 ounce) package any kind of pasta noodles
Directions
Place chicken in a large pot and cover with water. Place celery leaves in pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove chicken from pot and place in a bowl until cool enough to handle.
Meanwhile, strain the cooking liquid, discard the celery tops and place the cooking liquid in a large pot. Place celery, carrots, onion, bouillon, soup mix and chicken broth in the pot and let simmer. Season with thyme, poultry seasoning, basil, peppercorns, bay leaves and parsley.
Bone chicken and cut up meat into bite-size pieces. Return meat to pot. Cook until vegetables are tender and flavors are well blended, up to 90 minutes.
Stir pasta into pot and cook 10 to 15 minutes more, until noodles are al dente.
Serve hot.
Serve hot.
