WOAH! A whole chicken leg?
I hope you at least mean leg as in leg and thigh.

Don't skimp on the chicken man, buy a whole chicken. 
If you're only cooking for one then look for a small chicken or at least 1/2 or 1/4'd.

My little lady makes the best damn chicken soup I've ever had and I don't really like chicken or soup as a meal.
But I don't care if she makes 5 gallons of this stuff, just between her, her son and me it never makes 3 days. 

She uses a whole chicken but uses the breast meat to make her awesome chicken salad to go along with the soup. So don't skimp on the chicken.
If you end up with too much for the soup use the rest for chicken salad.

If life gives you chicken, make soup and salad.

I like the leg and thigh the best personally.
Breast is too tasteless and dry. 
So if 1 leg/thigh is good that stands to reason that 2 would be better lol.

The breast doesn't have the same medicinal properties as the leg does. There's something in the bones that have healing qualities. I've already made chicken soup with the breast and it doesn't work at all for curing colds or anything else. You must use the chicken leg with the bone.

May I suggest a drop or two of habanero sauce?  You don't even have to use so much that it changes the taste of the soup.  It gets you sweating and that helps kill what ails you.
