Combine stewing hen with chicken stock, coarsely chopped onions, carrots,

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 neat
little pieces. Strain the saffron broth through a fine sieve.

broth and diced chicken meat for 2 to 3 days, or freeze the broth and the
chicken meat in separate convenient sized containers. Be sure to label and
date them. 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.
