Farm-Fresh Chicken Soup Recipe
After removing a stew hen from the pot and chopping the meat, add rice, noodles, or dumplings to the chicken broth in the pot and cook until done. Put the cubed chicken back into the pot to warm it up for 5 or 10 minutes before serving. Adding a bit of fresh-snipped parsley or chopped green onions just before serving adds nice variety.
