Bring water to boil in a large soup pot. Add whole chicken, turkey wing,
garlic, onion, carrot, parsnip, celery, and bay leaf. Simmer about 3 hours,
skimming fat from the top from time to time. Taste and adjust seasonings
with salt and pepper about 2 hours into the cooking. Fish out the bay leaf
and discard. Lift all vegetables from the broth to a food processor fitted
with a steel blade. Puree and reserve. Remove the chicken, reserving the
meat. Discard skin, bones, and the turkey wing. Return the chicken meat to
the soup. Raise to a simmer. Add noodles and cook until al dente. Add
vegetable puree back to the soup and stir to mix thoroughly. Adjust the
seasonings with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
