  • Place chicken into a large pot; cover with water. Add celery leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and place in a bowl until cool enough to handle.
  • Meanwhile, strain cooking liquid, discard celery leaves, and return cooking liquid to the pot. Place celery, carrots, onion, chicken broth, bouillon, and soup mix into the pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Season with peppercorns, bay leaves, thyme, poultry seasoning, basil, and parsley.
  • Bone chicken; cut meat into bite-sized pieces. Add meat to the pot. Simmer until vegetables are tender and flavors are well blended, about 90 minutes.
  • Stir pasta into the pot; cook until noodles are al dente, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.
