A Different Chicken Soup

I came up with this while suffering through a terrible cold/sinus infection. You can also add fresh serrano chiles like I do, they're great for the sinuses!

1. To prepare stock, simmer breasts and other stock ingredients in canned broth until the meat begins to fall off the bone.

3. Strain, reserving broth and meat.
4. Toss everything else.
5. Cut chicken into manageable pieces and add to stock.
