Instructions
Place chicken and water in a large pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, skimming fat as needed, 30 minutes.
Place the halved onion, bay leaves, peppercorns, whole celery, whole carrots and lemon grass in the pot and simmer, covered 1 hour.
Strain broth and reserve chicken. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and cut meat into bite-size pieces.
Return strained stock to pot over high heat, and stir in chicken base, chopped celery and chopped carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
Chop celery leaves and stir into pot with the noodles. Simmer until noodles are cooked, about 10 minutes more. Stir in chicken and heat through.
Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Albarino, Unoaked Chardonnay
Chicken Noodle Soup on the menu? Try pairing with Sauvignon Blanc, Albarino, and Unoaked Chardonnay. Unoaked or slightly oaked chardonnay works well with your standard chicken noodle soup. If you have a very herby broth, try a Sauvignon Blanc. If you're adding lemon, opt for an Albariño. The Freemark Abbey Sauvignon Blanc with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

Freemark Abbey Sauvignon Blanc
The 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is pretty with a light greenish straw color. The initial aroma is white peach, with lemon grass, subtle mandarin orangeand a slight oak spice. The flavor expresses a minerality complimenting fruit components of citrus, green melon, lemon grass and mandarin orange.
