Keep the hen meat in a separate container. If kept in the soup, it will lose it's texture. The hen meat can also be saved and used in sandwiches or a pie (thicken 2 cups of chicken soup for the gravy and top with a pie crust or mashed potatoes).
Tip: use a pasta pot, that way you can pull out all the meat and vegetables at once - makes it easier to break it down. You still should strain the liquid to catch all the smaller pieces and peppercorns.

Where's the garlic? Or the starch (noodles, potatoes, even beans)? Or the basil and oregano? What kind of Italian soup is this, anyway? Just kidding - this does sound good!
