Chicken Corn Soup With Rivels image

This is an old Mennonite recipe that I have had for years. It is very tasty and comforting in those long cold winter months! Cook time is approximate, depending on how long it takes for your chicken to get tender, which of course depends on whether you use chicken pieces or an old hen!!

1 cut up chicken, about 1 1/2 to 2 lbs (you can use pieces, but old hens have the best flavour)

2 (11 ounce) cans canned corn niblets
