In large stockpot start with 12 cups of water. Add soup base until fully dissolved.

Once broth is to a simmer add precooked chicken, carrots and potatoes. NOTE - peel and cut potatoes into quarters. Add salt and pepper to taste. I usually add about a tbsp of both.

Simmer covered on low for 1/2 hour or until carrots and potatoes are fork tender.

Slowly add noodles. I usually drop 2-4 at a time in different spots so they don't clump together. Stir frequently.

After all noodles have been added simmer for 10 minutes.

Serve as you would soup or stew!
