Even my children call it mirpoix (and they know you need parsnips, not carrots, in white soups)... but they like to watch the food network too...

The mirepoix cooks in oil, the chicken in liquid (which you add to the soup with the chicken). If you cooked them in the same pan you'd have to wash it in between, or at very least put the contents into another container (pan?) while you cook the next thing. And the noodles have to be cooked first or they would seriously fuck up the consistancy of your broth. Just do it my way gaddamnit.
