In a large crockpot, add in your carrots, onions, celery, garlic, poultry seasoning, olive oil, bay leaves, parsley, and fine ground pepper. Place chicken on top. Pour chicken stock and broth over chicken. Cook on high heat for 1 hour, and low heat for 7 hours or more (just go to work and come home - and like magic, you're ready to finish dinner). Dig out your bay leaves and toss them. Shred your chicken with a couple forks while still in the crockpot. Add in the sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. I sometimes have to play with the salt and pepper a few times until it tastes just right. I think the amount varies based on the flavor of the veggies in the batch and if you use low sodium stock and broth or not. In a separate pot, cook your noodles according to the package. Remove the noodles from the pot and add them to the meat and veggies. Toss in the frozen peas. Taste again to see if you need more salt or pepper once the noodles have been added. If the soup is too thick, you can add some water or I just keep another 32 oz of chicken broth around to add in if needed. Ladle into bowl and sprinkle pepper on top (if you're a pepper lover like I am). Enjoy!
