Stock can be frozen if you need to keep it for a bit of time.

Chicken soup one:
use your stock and add chopped up pieces of cooked chicken, carrots, cooked rice, and canned diced tomatoes. I season with one half a pkg of good seasonings dry italian dressing mix.
you can use regular italian seasoning and garlic instead.

Another version of good chicken soup is dumplins:
broth, cooked bits of chicken, and peas. season with S&P, basil and garlic. Make up a batch of biscuit dough and plop spoonfuls into the simmering liquid one at a time. Spoon liquid over the dumplins and cover for a few moments to help them cook. Make sure it doen't boil too hard.
To really do this right, serve in bowl, with a boiled egg cut up over the top, and sprinkle with pepper. Awesome when it's cold.
