Yummy Chicken Soup

• 4 chicken thighs, split so bone is exposed (you can add more thighs if you like more meat)
• 2 -3 tablespoons McCormick's french herb roasting rub
• 1 gallon water (I use sparkletts)
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon Greek oregano
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon concentrate (I use better than bouillon chicken base by Superior Touch)
• 5 celery ribs, chopped
• 1 yellow onion, chopped (optional)
• 1 (12 ounce) bag baby carrots (approx size)
• 1 bunch kale leaf, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 lb wide egg noodles

1. Heat oven to 350.
2. I've added onion as optional as Mom can't tolerate it so I left it out for her.
3. I usually add it in so use your own discretion.
4. After you've split the thighs to expose the bone sprinkle both sides liberally with the McCormick's rub and roast on greased (or buttered) foil in broiler pan for about 20 minutes per side.
5. Remove & shred/chop chicken.
6. In large stock pot add thigh meat, bones (yes, the bones, they add nice flavor) and next 10 ingredients.
7. Boil for about an hour and a half.
8. Remove bones, add egg noodles & continue boiling according to package directions.
9. Serve & enjoy.
10. This really has a lovely wholesome flavor and is heavier on the chunky stuff than broth so if you like a little more broth add more water in the beginning steps as the egg noodles will soak up quite a bit of it.
