Boil whole chicken or pieces of chicken in water until tender, thereby giving you the chicken broth necessary for the soup base.

Using three cups of chicken broth (more if you like), add one cup of noodles, 2 stalks of celery, diced, and one small onion, diced. Cook all until tender. This takes approximately thirty minutes on simmer.

Cut up chicken and put into broth mixture. Then salt and pepper to taste. This may be a little trouble to the person in a hurry but if you can spare the time you will be glad you did.
