1 (6-7 lb.) stewing hen
7 c. cold water
6 med. potatoes, peeled & diced
2 c. whole kernel corn (fresh, frozen or canned)
2 c. baby lima beans
2 lg. onions, peeled & chopped
4 c. tomatoes
3 tbsp. sugar
5 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. butter

Simmer hen in water approximately 1 1/2 hours until tender, covered. Remove meat from bones and cut into chunks. Dip off as much fat as possible from broth. Boil potatoes in 1 cup chicken broth, covered, 15 to 20 minutes until tender. Do not drain; mash slightly with a potato masher. Set aside.

Add corn, lima beans, onions, tomatoes, sugar, salt and pepper to chicken broth, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Add potatoes and chicken meat and simmer slowly with the lid off for at least 45 minutes. At the last minute, stir in the butter and let it melt.
