Boil (or simmer) some chicken breasts (the type with skin and bones makes richer broth) for an hour (it should basically be falling off the bone).

Saving the broth, I remove the chicken and allow it to cool a bit before I debone it.

While it's cooling, I add sliced carrots, cubed potato, diced onion and minced garlic to the broth. Also some garlic salt and black pepper. Sometimes I also add corn. I like corn in it. I debone the chicken and add the meat to the soup, along with a can of tomatoes (the size of the can depends upon how much soup I'm making and how much tomato I'm in the mood for).

Then I add about a cup or so of macaroni noodles, and allow them to cook for about five minutes.

Lastly, I add some American cheese and picante sauce. I turn the heat off, so as not to scorch or rubberize the cheese, leaving the pot on the burner, and just stir until the cheese is melted.
