http://cookingwiththemark.blogspot.com

Ingredients
2-3 celery stalks, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
garlic powder
black Pepper
1 T thyme
1 T marjoram
1 T oregano
1/2 pound egg noodes, cooked

For the broth:
Take one roasted leftover chicken carcass and pick off all the meat. Chop meat into small pieces and refrigerate. Cover carcass with water in a large pot and simmer for a couple hours. Using a gravy separator remove as much fat as possible. Set broth aside.

Directions
In a large soup pot, saute onions for a few minutes. Then add remaining vegetables and cook for a few minutes until soft. Add broth, herbs and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer, cover and cook for an hour or two. If you have leftover chicken, add it to the soup. Meanwhile, cook egg noodles or Polish noodles. Drain and add a bit of soup to the noodles. To serve, put some noodles in a bowl and pour soup over them. Add salt and pepper to taste.

1. I self deleted an earlier version of this post

Because I made a few modifications to the recipe.

2. There used to be noodles

called Kluski. They can be found by the other egg noodles, I believe. They are way thicker, so they don't turn to mush in soup.

3. I use those sometimes.

But they're way overpriced at the grocery store. I should have bought some when I shopped at the Polish part of tow last weekend

4. I love chicken broth with noodles - the ultimate in comfort food to me.

I do it a little differently. I leave the meat on a leftover carcass on there and add the veggies and spices at the beginning. Then I strain off and toss all the solids.

You know you have a good broth when it gels after cooling, imo.
