Chicken Noodle-Vegetable Soup

1. In a 4-quart pot, combine broth, soup, water, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add chicken legs, carrots, onion, celery, and bay leaf. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender.

2. Remove chicken from pan; cool slightly. Discard bay leaf. Return broth mixture to boiling; add noodles and frozen peas. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove chicken from bones; discard bones. Shred or chop meat; stir into soup. Let cool. Divide soup between two quart jars. Fasten lids; attach directions (below) for serving soup to jars.
