Here my hubby and I are homebound as much as possible due to the Corona virus . He asked if we could have soup today. Without wanting to go out to shop I checked our pantry for canned soup, which I rarely stock but what he was really asking for, and had none. So, I took out a couple of frozen chicken quarters ad placed them in cold water to defrost. I began to look for other ingredients to create a soup. This is what I came up with. The second day after skimming off more scum from the top of it while cold from the fridge it was even better! You can be creative and add what you want.

This was taken still in the pot the second day after reheating it and we had already eaten it for the second time. The onions were cut into too large a chunks. Still yummy.
