Saffron gives color and flavor to this homemade chicken soup filled with noodles or homemade rivels and corn. You can use fresh or frozen corn. This soup freezes well and makes for a hearty and easy weekday meal a few days after you make it. Freeze it before adding the noodles, barley, or rivels; prepare and add those when you reheat the soup. This recipe is taken from "The whole world loves chicken soup" By mimi sheraton.
