Steps:

• Place all ingredients except noodles in the Crock Pot.
• Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.
• Remove chicken and bay leaf from pot; take meat from bones, dice, and return to broth, and add the noodles.
• Cook another hour or until noodles are done (about 1/2 hour on high).

Steps:

• Pour the chicken stock into a large saucepan and add in the chicken breasts. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, cover and let sit for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the stock and set aside to rest.
• Meanwhile, in another saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat and add in the onion, carrots, celery and fennel. Season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and turmeric and cook for 30 seconds before carefully pouring in the hot chicken stock. Turn the heat up to high, bring to a boil and cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes. Add in the egg noodles and cook according to the package directions, or until tender.
• Just before serving, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the soup along with the greens, lemon juice and herbs and a final seasoning of salt and pepper.
• On a sturdy work surface using a sharp knife, break down the chicken by removing the wings and legs at their joints and splitting the legs into thighs and drumsticks. Carefully remove the breast meat from the carcass and wrap and set aside in the fridge or freezer for later use. Place the broken-down chicken bones, wings, thighs and drumsticks into a large stockpot.
• Roughly chop the celery and carrots into large chunks and add them to the pot. Leave the onion unpeeled, cut it in half, and place in the pot along with the garlic, parsley stalks, thyme, bay, peppercorns and salt. Pour 4 liters of water (about 1 gallon) on top, adding more if the veg and chicken are not fully covered.
• Place the pot over high heat, bring to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low to maintain a low simmer. Simmer the stock for at least 4 hours, occasionally skimming any frothy foam that floats to the surface.
• When the stock is flavourful and the chicken bones fall apart easily when pressed, scoop out as much of the chicken and veg as possible, then strain the stock through a fine mesh sieve. Allow the stock to cool to room temperature before transferring to resealable containers and storing in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Steps:

• For the soup stock: Combine the chicken, peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, thyme, carrot chunks, celery chunks, quartered onion, parsnip chunks, 3 sprigs dill and 3 sprigs parsley in a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 2 inches (about 5 quarts). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is very tender, for at least 1 1/2 hours (or up to 2 hours if you have the time. The longer the better!) Add more water, as needed, skimming off scum (there won't be much) and, if desired, some fat.
• Carefully strain the stock, discarding everything except for the chicken. (You should have 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 quarts of stock.) Set the chicken aside to cool briefly while you put together the rest of the soup. Return the strained stock to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Add the sliced carrot, sliced celery, chopped onion, sliced parsnip, chopped dill, chopped parsley and the salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: In a small saucepan, bring the butter and 3/4 cup water to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour. Let cool for a few minutes so it's not so hot that it will cook the eggs, then whisk in the salt, sugar, nutmeg and the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated into a slightly lumpy thick batter. (It'll take a little work to whisk in the eggs.)
• Drop heaping teaspoons of the dumpling mixture into the simmering soup, then cover and cook until the vegetables are tender and the dumplings are cooked through; begin checking for doneness at 15 minutes.
• Pull the chicken meat off the bones and chop into bite-sized pieces. Season it with salt, then add it to the soup along with the ground black pepper. Taste and add more salt as needed. This is important: The amount of salt in a chicken soup can mean the difference between unappetizing chicken tea and the elixir of bubble love that it should be. So don't skip this step, and don't rush it, either. Taste your soup, and if it doesn't make you smile reflexively, add more salt, about a 1/2 teaspoon of it, and give it a few good stirs so it can dissolve. Taste and repeat, as needed, until it tastes good.
• Serve, garnishing with fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Place the washed chicken in the crock pot.
• Cover with 1 cup of water, salt, and pepper (add any extra spices you may enjoy).
• Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 6-8 hours.
• Let cool and debone the chicken (save the liquid).
• Separate the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
• Set aside.
• Prepare the egg noodles according to the package.
• Mix the drained noodles and the chicken together.
• Add about 1 cup of the reserved liquid leftover from the crock pot.
• You can add more if you like them extra moist.
• This freezes quite well too.
• It makes a lot at once.

Steps:

• Place chicken, water, celery, carrot, green onion, chicken bouillon, parsley, bay leaf, seasoned salt, salt, dried basil, and pepper into the bottom of a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the centers, 5 to 6 hours.
• Remove and discard bay leaf. Remove chicken, shred using 2 forks, and return to the pot. Stir in egg noodles.
• Cover and continue to cook on Low until noodles are tender, 20 to 30 minutes more.
