Homemade chicken noodle soup

I've been sick with the flu for the last week and a half so I haven't been running which usually inspires my blogs. So for those of you who are sick/will be sick, I'm giving you my yummy delicious chicken noodle soup that will make you feel so much better.

Broth
Whole chicken
Whole garlic peeled
8oz of ginger peeled and sliced small
Whole lemon with rind sliced in circles
Whole onion sliced

Soup
1/4 cup Apple vinegar
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
Cup of Celery diced
Cup of Carrots diced
1/2 cup of Diced onions
Cheyenne Pepper (if you have a sore throat)
Noodles (optional, it's hearty enough without)

Put chicken (with skin on) in a pot and fill water so it's barely covering the chicken. Add broth ingredients, bring to boil and reduce heat to medium until chicken is thoroughly cooked. You can tell by picking the chicken up by the wing and if it tears away from the chicken it's done. Strain broth into a bowl. Put in refrigerator til' the fat is separated. (4-6 hrs). Take chicken separate the skin and throw away and pull a part the meat into little pieces. Put the meat back into the broth (with out the fat). Add ingredients for the soup and bring to boil. Simmer for about an hour. Enjoy with a hot cup of tea!

I make a huge pot and freeze the rest and save it for all the people who I get sick (sorry). I think it taste better the longer it sits.

This goes with out saying, but if you do get sick drinks lots of water!!
