This is pretty much how I make chicken soup.  But I'll add a couple things you didn't.  Chicken bullion cubes or chicken stock base added to the stock in the beginning instead of salt later.  This makes the broth taste better IMHO.  Also, add rinsed (uncooked) rice to the stock when you add the veggis.  Or instead of rice add noodles or pasta of some sort about ten minutes before done.  Egg noodles, manicotti, elbow macaroni, or even pasta shells works great.  Frozen tortellini is also another tasty option.  Cook the pasta/tortellini per directions on package.

Looks tasty. I myself prefer beef stew, with lots of fat and oil. Typical german i guess. Goes like this: Cook beef until tender, throw in veggies, whatever you find. Add garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and whatever your spice rack offers. Cook some more. Eat! I'll try it with chicken soon, but i believe you use too much water. A stew must be solid enough to drive in a nail into a wall ;).
