Chop the onions, carrots, fennel, and celery into small pieces.

In a large pot, combine the chopped vegetables and chicken thighs.

Add 1.5 liters of water or chicken broth to the pot along with salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, bay leaves, and sage.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the chicken is tender.

Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.

Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Finish with a splash of white wine vinegar to taste.
