1 chicken
1 lb. noodles
Salt to taste

Simmer chicken 2-3 hours. Remove chicken from broth and cool. Put juices in refrigerator in jar until fat goes to top. Remove fat and put broth into pan. Debone chicken and add to broth. Add cooked noodles to chicken and broth. Add 1-2 teaspoons salt. (Chicken may be left on bone for serving. Add 1 piece chicken to each bowl of soup.)

VARIATION: Instead of adding noodles, add a thickening of flour and water to make gravy and serve with mashed potatoes or over rice.
