Equipment

Large Stockpot

Fine Mesh Strainer

Ingredients

4 pounds whole chicken
4 quarts water
1/4 cup chicken broth base
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 small onion, diced
1/4 cup parsley
12 ounces dried egg noodles
10 ounces cream of chicken soup
4 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large stockpot, combine the whole chicken, water, chicken broth base, celery, onion, and parsley. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot.
Allow the chicken to simmer for 2-3 hours. The longer the chicken simmers, the richer the broth will become.
Carefully remove the chicken from the broth and separate the meat from the bones. Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer to remove any solids.
Return 4 cups of the strained broth to the pot and bring it back to a boil.
Add the dried egg noodles and shredded chicken to the pot. Cover the pot and turn off the heat.
Let the noodles sit in the hot broth for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Test the noodles for doneness. If they're not fully cooked, turn the heat back on and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until tender.
Stir in the cream of chicken soup and butter until the butter has melted and the soup is well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the Amish chicken and noodles immediately or keep them covered in the pan until ready to serve. They will stay warm in the pan for about 30 minutes.
