Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the chicken pieces in a large 5-quart microwave-safe casserole dish.
  2. Add 4 cups of hot water, sliced celery, sliced carrots, dried basil, rosemary, pepper, and optional salt to the dish.
  3. Microwave on High for 30 to 40 minutes, stopping to stir twice during the cooking process, until the chicken is cooked through and falls easily from the bone.
  4. Carefully remove the hot dish from the microwave and let it cool slightly.
  5. Remove the chicken from the bones, discarding the bones and skin.
  6. Dice the cooked chicken meat into bite-sized pieces and return it to the casserole with the broth and vegetables.
  7. Stir in the remaining 2 cups of hot water and the thin egg noodles.
  8. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or vented plastic wrap.
  9. Microwave on High for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the water returns to a boil.
  10. Continue microwaving on High for another 7 to 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
  11. Let the soup stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
