Take left over chicken, bones, skin and all and dump into large pot, cover with water. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1 hour. Remove heat. Strain chicken from broth saving the broth and the chicken. Let cool. When chicken is cool enough to touch separate all meat from bones. Discard bones. Use a fat separator to remove fat from the top of the cooled broth. Or cool it completely and skim fat off the top. Add your chicken meat and broth back into the pot and the vegetables and seasonings. Heat to boiling and reduce heat to a simmer covered 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Return heat to boiling. Add noodles and simmer 10-15 minutes. Remove bay leave before serving. This is extra special if you use homemade noodles.
