Chicken Soup Recipe Please?

I've got a whole chicken (pretty nice sized) and want to make chicken soup with it.

I diddle around, but I don't really have a tried and true recipe. I don't care if your recipe contains noodles, potatoes, just veggies, or something else I may not have considered.

So give me the best you've got. :)

Thanks!

    White beans, bacon, shallots, and garlic add tremendous flavor to Portugese-style chicken soup. This makes a hearty meal in a bowl. Plan ahead to soak the beans overnight or save yourself some time and used drained canned beans. If you use canned beans, reduce the simmering time to 15 minutes and add the beans along with the chicken and bacon at the end.

    Prep Time: 15 minutes

    Cook Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes

    Total Time: 1 hour, 60 minutes

    Ingredients:

    1 pound dried white beans, such as white kidney (cannellini) or great Northern, rinsed and picked over

    1/2 pound bacon, cut into 1/2-inch wide pieces

    2 cups chopped yellow onions

    1/2 cup chopped celery

    2 Tablespoons minced shallots

    1 Tablespoon minced garlic

    2 bay leaves

    1 teaspoon salt

    1/4 teaspoon cayenne

    2 quarts chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth

    3/4 pound diced cooked chicken

    1 cup freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese

    Preparation:

    Put the beans into a large pot or bowl. Add water to cover by 2 inches and soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. Then drain. (For a quick soak, bring the beans and water to a boil over high heat and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to stand for 1 hour. Drain.)

    Fry the bacon in a heavy medium stockpot over medium-high heat until crisp, about 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to lift onto paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the pot.

    Add the onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots soften, about 1 minute.

    Add the beans to the pot with the stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 1-1/2 hours.

    Stir in the chicken and the reserved bacon and heat through. Remove and discard bay leaves.

    Ladle into warm bowl and sprinkle with the grated cheese.

    Yield: 8 to 12 servings

    breast are nice CUX afterward you can make chicken salad: but

    \baked chicken and yer done with the carcass,,,boil it fer an hr

    yer kinda already there and it is better than water in most called for moisture

    but you can reduce youe pot to half, twice s tasty

    remember bones are stock,meat is broth

    any of these liquids are better than water,,,point being:

    if you can make water taste good these only up the best of times

    well i am the quite pretentious ****

    i certainly did not answer yer bit

    boil the chicken in clean water

    i like celery and carrots they aint so needed

    boil that chicken for an hr,,,,touch ofS&P and yer good

    you could shred the chicken

    you could add to the flavors as you might like

    then again you might kill us all
