I use my Mum's receipe which is simply;

2L chicken stock
1L water
3 grated carrots
3 Medium size potato grated
Celery finely sliced
Noodles (I use 2 min noodles)
1 packet chicken noodle soup
1/4 Cabbage shredded
Chicken wings (optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste

I generally put all the liquid in the saucepan/stockpot and add the carrot, potato, cabbage, salt and pepper. If using chicken wings I add at this time too. Bring to boil stiring occasionally. Simmer for 20 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through) and add the celery, chicken noodle soup and simmer a further 5 min. Add the noodles and simmer until they're cooked.

The noodles really fill the soup out so feel free to omit them from the receipe - my DH just prefers a "full soup". I make this soup whenever I'm sick. It's been my fav since I was about 4!
