Toms chicken soup----- Put a whole chicken down in a pot of water--cover it and place in oven at 325. Go to work all day long----Get home and remove the bones with a slotted spoon--- add a package of egg noodles and a stick of butter. salt and pepper to taste. You can doctor this up if you want but I like it simple.

I do something similar. I add carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, hot peppers and a couple of other things. Glad you mentioned the butter. Use real butter, not margarine.
Best to cook the noodles separately and add them at serving time.
325 for 8 or 9 hours is a long time. The broth and bones would disappear.

Actually, I cut up the chicken and then wrap it in cheesecloth. It's much neater that way and easier to de-bone. I believer Tom said to add the noodles after the soup is done.
I also have a large crock pot that works quite well for stuff like that. Makes a mean pot of ham and beans.

I add the noodles and butter in the last 30 minutes.

If you want to spend some time, make your own noodles. My great-grandmother's recipe is:
The amount of eggs depends on how many noodles you want, in general 2 eggs serves 4 unless you can eat a lot of noodles...there's 6 in my family, we use 4 eggs
put eggs in a bowl
measure an egg's worth of water for each egg...use the shell
1 tsp salt
add flour and make a stiff dough
roll out...the thinner the better, let dry thoroughly
cut into squares or strips...we like squares
cook 12-15 minutes covered, then uncover and cook 12-15 minutes
enjoy
This is the best home-made noodle recipe I have ever tried, try it yourself and you will love it.

I prefer a slow cooker to the oven...
Like to add cumin as well...

...use the shell for water...brilliant.
Broth will stay clear if you cook the noodles in water separately and add them at serving time. I used to make noodles, but now I 😐buy them.

Good tip...
That's how we do it...
Some things are too convenient nowadays... I admit to the same... But home-made trumps store-bought everytime....
