 Categories: Diabetic, Poultry, Vegetables, Crockpot, Soups
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
    1/2    Stewing hen or fowl;
      2 qt Chicken stock or broth
    1/4 c  Onion; coarsely chopped
    1/2 c  Carrots; coarsely chopped

  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 neat little pieces. Strain the saffron
  broth through a fine sieve. (Note: The soup can be made through this
  step in advance. Simply frefrigerate broth and diced chicken meat for
  2 to 3 days, or freeze the broth and the chicken meat in separate
  convenienly 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.
