Instructions

1

In a medium Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, bring the stock, carrots, parsnips, celery, onion, parsley sprigs, garlic, and bay leaf to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and very tender, about 40 minutes.

2

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let cool. Discard the parsley sprigs, garlic, and bay leaf. Return the soup to a boil. Stir in the noodles and reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until the noodles are tender, about 8 minutes.

3

When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pull the meat from the bones and shred. Discard the bones. Stir the chicken, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper into the soup. Divide among 6 bowls.
