Chicken Stock

1
Bring 16 cups of cold water to a boil with chicken pieces (including neck and giblets) in an 8-quart pot, skimming froth. Add remaining 1/2 cup cold water and bring to a simmer, continuing to skim froth. Add remaining ingrediants and simmer stock, uncovered skimming froth occasionally, 3 hours.
2
Pour stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. If using stock right away, skim off and discard any fat. If not, cool completely, uncovered, before skimming fat (it will be easier to remove when cool), then chill, covered.

Chicken soup

In the broth in 8-quart pot put in carrots, cellery, and chicken. Simmer at medium heat for 15 minutes. Put noodles in and leave lid of at medium heat for another 15-20 minutes.
