Sometimes there just isn't a recipe

I made Chicken Noodle Soup last night and I sorta feel like Michael's Grandmother.  I have her closely guarded Potato Salad "recipe"..it takes four 5 X 7 index cards, written in narrative form My soup turned out very good but there just isn't a recipe..so here goes.

I am so cheap that after I baked a whole chicken the other day, I decided to boil the carcass like I do with a turkey.  In 6 cups of water I added  some sea salt, course ground black papper, a chopped clove of garlic, 2 stalks of celery chopped and and 1/2 a large onion chopped.  I simmered it for about 30 minutes, let it cool, put it through a strainer and picked out all the meat and threw away the cooked onion/celery (Michael hates onions in his food, the celery was way too mushy). I refrigerated it overnight, skimmed off the small amount of fat, reheated it, added a 1 1/2 cups of frozen mixed veggies brought it to a rolling boil for 5 minutes, then added about  1 1/2 cups of fine egg noodles and bioled for another 4 minutes.  It was quite tasty! Grandmother Esther would be proud!
