Recipe View In a large stockpot, submerge the chicken in water, ensuring it's fully covered. Introduce the chicken broth, onions, and celery. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil, then reduce heat and simmer until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F (74°C), approximately 1 hour. Carefully remove the chicken and allow it to rest until cool enough to handle.

Recipe View In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and salt until well combined. Gradually incorporate the flour, mixing until a firm dough forms – adjust the amount of flour as needed to achieve the right consistency. Transfer the dough to a flat plate.

Recipe View Continue cooking until the carrots are tender and the spaetzle are cooked through. Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of parsley flakes for a touch of freshness.

For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in the stockpot before adding the broth and vegetables.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as potatoes, parsnips, or leeks.
If you don't have time to make spaetzle from scratch, you can use store-bought egg noodles instead.
