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
refrigerate 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.
