Steps:
- cut chicken into bite-size pieces
- put 4 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a quick boil
- add the chicken, cook briefly, drain chicken and set aside
- add the broth to a large dutch oven and bring it to a simmer
- add the par-cooked chicken
- stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, you may need to add more salt later, this is just to get you started
- add 2 teaspoons Italian Seasonings and the bay leaf and stir in as well
- cover and let the chicken simmer gently for 60 minutes
- meanwhile, make the noodle dough, if using
- put the flour and salt in the bowl of a KitchenAid Mixer, mix the eggs, water, and oil together
- pour the liquid ingredients in the bowl with the flour
- add the dough hook, and run the mixer on low
- once it comes together let the machine knead the dough for 1 minute
- remove from the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to roll out
- once the chicken is tender it's time to roll the dough
- set up your machine, dust it with flour, dust a clean counter with flour as well, divide the dough in half or thirds
- run it through the machine, on the KitchenAid I went to setting three, those make thick noodles, you can roll it out thinner if you like
- lay the finished dough on the prepared counter, sprinkle with a little flour
- repeat with the rest of the dough
- use a pizza cutter or a knife to cut the noodles to your desired size, the bigger the noodles the longer it takes to cook (but fresh noodles cook quickly)
- if you've had the broth lose volume during the cooking time, add another quart of water, don't worry it won't thin it down too much, the flavor just gets concentrated and adding water will just make it taste right
- bring the broth back to a low boil, add the noodles, stirring as you go, once the noodles are all added, it will start to get thick as the noodles cook and the extra flour adds to the broth
- check for doneness after 5 minutes, continue checking until they are cooked to your preference
- now is the time to taste for salt and pepper and add as needed

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine chicken, celery and their tops, carrot, onion and its peel, and pepper. Pour broth over and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender and falls from the bone, about 45 minutes.
- While chicken is cooking, make noodles. In a large bowl, combine eggs, water, oil, salt and enough of the flour to make a stiff dough.
- Strain chicken stock, reserving meat, celery and carrots. Pull meat from bones and return strained stock and meat, celery and carrots to pot. Bring to a boil. Make noodles by cutting dough from a broth-dipped spoon or using scissors or your fingers to make small, chickpea sized, noodles and dropping them in the boiling water. When the noodles rise to the surface they are done.
