In a large soup pot place whole chicken, onion, red peppers, celery, carrots, potatoes, diced tomatoes with their juices and then add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Over heat, bring to a boil. Then add parsley, garlic, 1 tablespoon of salt and pepper

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover partially with a lid. Let it simmer for 2 hours, or until chicken is falling off the bone. Remove chicken and let it cool for 30 minutes, or until cool to the touch. Reduce heat to low and let the soup continue to simmer

Remove all the meat from the chicken and shred the chicken into large pieces. Discard teh skin and bones

In a medium sauce pan cook pasta as directed on box. Drain well and set aside in a bowl

Using a potato masher, mash the soup around a few times, letting some of teh potatoes get a little smashed. I don't try too hard on this, I just mash 2-3 times and call it good. Add teh shredded chicken and noodles to the pot and serve
