Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the whole chicken, quartered onion, whole carrots, celery stalks with leaves, peeled sweet potato, peeled parsnips, and fresh dill sprigs into a large stockpot or kettle.
  2. Add enough cold water to cover the ingredients by about two inches, approximately 2 1/2 quarts.
  3. Cover the pot and bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, use a spoon to skim any foam or impurities that rise to the surface for a clearer broth.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and let the soup simmer gently for 2 hours until the chicken is very tender.
  6. Carefully remove the chicken and vegetables from the pot and set them aside on a cutting board to cool.
  7. Pour the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean pot, discarding the solids and bones.
  8. Shred the chicken meat and dice the carrots and parsnips from the cooled vegetables.
  9. Return the shredded chicken and diced vegetables to the strained broth.
  10. Season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  11. Add the thin egg noodles to the simmering soup and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender.
  12. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
