Will this sickness ever end chicken soup

Will this sickness ever end chicken soup
(dedicated to Serra and her H1N1 )
I make a roast chicken dish called Suffolk cider chicken its so nice i wondered if i could somehow create something similar in soup form for the current lingering malaise before i feel the great need to nap again.

2 chicken breast.
6 chicken thighs.
8 slices of black forest ham.
2 apples.
1 onion.
3 cloves of garlic.
½ pint of cream.
1 pint of medium dry cider (donut worry the alcohol all burns off.)
1 pint of chicken stock.
½ a cup of apple juice.
Butter.

Chop the onion and soften in butter in a large heavy bottomed pot.
Dice the chicken up finely and brown off in the butter (include bones if you have any)
Add the ham, cider and chicken stock, then give a good stir before covering and leaving to cook for a few hours or until the chicken is very soft and braking apart.
While this is cooking peel and chop the apples.
Simmer in some butter with the apple juice  in a pan until mushy, add a table spoon of sugar is too tart.
When the chicken  has cooked down remove the bones and add the cream and apple
bring to the boil and then simmer.
When thickened serve with some crusty bread.
Get well soooon
