- Pat chicken dry with paper towels; sprinkle skin side with the salt and pepper.
- In a 3 1/2 quart stock pot heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken skin-side down and cook until dark golden brown, about 3 or 4 minutes.
- Remove chicken from pan; remove and discard skin. Pour off drippings from pan, reserving 1 tablespoon.
- Add onions to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high heat until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Add 6 cups broth, stirring to loosen brown bits from pan. Bring to a boil. Return chicken to pan and add celery, carrots, bay leaf and thyme. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is tender, about 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool.
- Add noodles to pot and simmer until tender, covered, about 10 minutes.
- (NOTE: If using raw string beans or sugar snap peas, add them when noodles are added; if using frozen peas, wait to add them toward the end of noodle cooking time.)
- Meanwhile when chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat and discard bones. Shred or chop meat into bite size pieces and return meat to stockpot; heat through.
- Add lemon juice. Remove bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired; add 1 to 2 cups additional broth as preferred for soup consistency.
- Yield: 2 quarts; about 5-6 servings.
