how do you improve chicken soup?

Garlic

Chicken 'go 'za?

pepper cream and leeks or fennel instead of onions

With a large reduction.

The larger your batch of stock is, with more vegetables and chicken parts, the more flavor will be imbued into it. When you reduce it down from a dozen quarts to just a single one, you're going to be left with a very thick and concentrated flavor. Once you have your base stock you can go ahead and add fresh ingredients which will reawaken and pair crazy well with the base flavor in each bite you take. There's really not much more to improve at that point, it's basically the perfect chicken soup. Anything after comes down to personal taste and preference. I like mine with a little more kick and vinegar to it so I'll add just a dash of hot sauce.

start with a whole chicken, boil with veggies and seasonings of choice
when chicken is done, remove, debone and return bones to the liquid
keep at a low simmer to reduce for a few hours
strain tasty broth
add whatever veggies you like in your soup, and allow to cook
return chicken to stock and veggies
now as to how to do the noodles that depends, are you going to eat it all relatively soon? if yes then bring soup up to a boil and add noodles, after noodles are cooked thicken as necessary
if no then cook noodles separately and shock with cold water when done so your noodles remain firm and don't disintegrate later

This. Also feel free to experiment with different herbs.

Have you added a bunch of salt but find that your soup still needs a little something?

Add a very small amount of lemon juice. The acid will bring out other flavours without making the soup lemony.

you can also add a bunch of wings to this just to flavor the broth.

Bay leaves. And I like a nice blonde roux with it too. And low and slow is the way to go

Add bacon. Bacon improves everything XD
