Ingredients

1/2	each	hen	or fowl
2	quarts	chicken broth	or broth
1/4	cup	onion	coarsely chopped
1/2	cup	carrots	coarsely chopped
1/2	cup	celery	coarsely chopped
1	teaspoon	saffron threads	optional
3/4	cups	corn	kernels, fresh or frozen
1/2	cup	celery	finely chopped
1	tablespoon	parsley leaves	fresh, chopped
1	cup	egg noodles	cooked

Directions

Combine stewing hen with chicken stock, coarsely chopped onions, carrots, celery, and saffron threads. Bring the stock to a simmer. Simmer for about 1 hour, skimming the surface as necessary. Remove and reserve the stewing hen until cool enough to handle; then pick the meat from the bones. Cut into little pieces. Strain the saffron broth through a fine sieve.

Note: The soup can be made through this step in advance. Simply refrigerate broth and diced chicken meat for 2 to 3 days, or freeze the broth and the chicken meat in separate containers. To use, defrost, remove congealed fat, return the broth full boil, and add the diced meat.

Continue with recipe. Add the corn, celery, parsley, and cooked noodles to the broth. Return the soup to a simmer and serve immediately.
