Basically, how to make soup using poultry is pretty much standard. The bird is simmered in water, together with other ingredients.
Either the resulting stock is sieved and then used in cooking soup. Or, everything is put together into the pot at once and simmered till tender.
Chicken soup is often thought of as comfort food. It is also claimed to be the useful in treating colds and flues. Perhaps that's because it goes down so good.
There are many starch additions that can be used for poultry soups. These include pasta, noodles, rice, barley, potatoes, and dumplings.
Adding different vegetables will change the flavour. Veggies such as parsnips, sweet potatoes, celery root, cauliflower zucchini, and tomatoes are great additions.
Herbs and spices, especially parsley, dill, garlic, salt, pepper, and curry are super to use. Adding turmeric or saffron will provide a nice golden color.
How to make soup from scratch is a skill everyone really should learn.
It's an easy way to make economical meals, as well as use up stuff that's sitting in the crisper in the fridge before it goes bad.

I often buy chicken legs with backs attached just for making stock, simply because that's what's often on sale.
