Remove chicken from bones. Add bones and rest of ingredients for broth and cover with water. Cook for about 1 hour. Cook slightly and strain. Throw all of the solids away.
Saute fresh vegetables (carrots, onion, celery) in oil for about 10 minutes to release all the flavor. Add broth and canned tomatoes and frozen vegetables. Cook until all are soft. Add cut up chicken and noodles. Bring back to a simmer and turn off heat. Let sit about 20 minutes until noodles are soft.
