chicken soup as restorative

I roasted a chicken Sunday, and after work today I looked at the remains but knew I couldn't face chicken and gravy - too heavy! 

So.... I simmered some sliced onion with a bit of garlic and bay leaf in broth for a good half hour - didn't want any strong onion taste, thank you - then added lots of chicken meat, leftover carrots with a bit of potato, some thyme and marjoram, egg noodles and frozen peas. Some salt. 

I ended having supper at eight o'clock!   But I'd really wanted chicken soup.

Ahhhh.
