Using leftovers for soup

Last night is usually the leftover buffet. I had some time in the afternoon so I added a little twist. There was a lot of chicken left from the chicken and peppers and I had a feeling no one was going to finish it. So, I made soup. The chicken had been cooked with tomatoes, wine, prosciutto, and peppers. I removed all the bones and shredded the chicken. The "sauce" that was left was concentrated and gelatinous, just like a good stock. In a stock pot, I sauteed celery, carrots, and onions with salt and pepper. I added the meat and the stock and water. A little time and some heat was all it took to become soup. I also cooked some egg noodles to add to the soup.
