Classic Chicken Noodle Soup

My chicken noodle soup recipe has been passed down and tweaked through the years until it reached this perfect version. The key is using a whole chicken to build a deeply flavorful broth that you simply cannot get from a carton. I let it simmer low and slow all afternoon, and by dinner time the whole house smells absolutely heavenly. This soup has healed many a cold in our family and become the meal everyone requests when life gets hard.
