 Place the vegetables on the bottom of the pot, put the chicken on top, followed by the seasonings.  Pour 3 cups of water over. Set it on low and cook for 8-1 hrs.   Take chicken out (carefully, because it will come off the bones) and put noodles in the broth, turning it up to high.  Let the  noodles cook for 45 minutes, while you take the meat off the bones. 

Mix the  meat in. This is like a very thick chicken soup and the basil makes this  delicious!
