Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Remove gizzards from hen and wash hen thoroughly with water. Cut hen into several pieces.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add hen pieces and cook in hot oil until browned on all sides. Add celery, carrots, onion, garlic, and potatoes; cook and stir until onion is tender.

Step 3

Pour in chicken broth. Use more or less broth to your taste, but make sure to cover all the ingredients in the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender and hen is cooked through.

Step 4

Remove hen from the pot and remove meat from the bones. Discard bones and return meat to soup. Serve hot.
