Heavenly Chicken Soup Hungarian Style Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the chicken in pieces, wash, then scrub with Accent then place the pieces in bottom of a large, deep saucepan or pressure cooker. I prefer saucepan.
• Fill the pan or pressure cooker with water,( leave space for vegs! ) and cook slowly on low heat. The soup will get frothy while cooking, you have to take it off from the top with a spoon pretty often. If you don't, your soup will not be clear.
• Meanwhile, clean all vegetables, cut into pieces - except the onion, tomato, paprika and potato. Set aside.
• Put 1 teaspoon - for now - of salt and 7 pcs of peppercorn in the soup.
• When the froth vanishes, that is the time to put in the vegs. Cover, and cook until carrot is done.
• Don't forget to taste it while it is cooking, to see how much more salt is needed.
• When done, take out the chicken, vegs. and place them on two separate plates.
• Take a clean saucepan and pour the soup in it through a filter, this will make your soup "clean, clear and beautiful".
• Serve the soup clear, and everyone can pick their favourites from the chick and veg plates in their bowls.
• Don't forget about the noodles. ( Kids love the noodles.) They must be served separately too.
• You can also place a little plate on the table, filled with small green pepper slices. Some like it hot!

Steps:

• 1. Set up a large pot of water to boil chicken in once it's cut up. I do not use the wings. Add chicken to water and bring to a rapid boil for about a good 30 mins. Skim the foam off of the top of the soup broth and discard. Keep doing this til the chicken stops produceing the foam.
• 2. Once the foam is gone, add the parsnip greens,garlic,paprika,onion,salt and pepper to taste. Bring down to a slow boil for about 1 1/2 hours.
• 3. Once the onion starts getting soft, add the carrots, parsnips and celery and continue to slow boil until veggies start to get soft, then add the potatoes, this is when I remove the chicken from the soup and debone and skin the meat. You can add all the meat back to the soup when the potatoes are done and serve over large noodles or the small thin soup noodles, which ever you prefer. *NEVER ADD NOODLES TO SOUP TO COOK* Please boil them in a different pot. Keep noodles seperate in a bowl. Enjoy!!

Steps:

• 1. Cover chicken in very large stock pot with water. Slowly bring to a simmer. Remove scum from top. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO BOIL!
• 2. When it begins to simmer and all the scum is removed, add the vegetables, approximately 1 tablespoon of whole black pepper and salt.
• 3. Simmer, being careful not to boil, until the chicken and carrots are tender.
• 4. Allow everything to cool. Remove everything from the broth. Set chicken aside. Remove a few pieces of carrot to garnish the soup if you'd like. Squeeze juices from any remaining vegetables through a fine sieve back into the broth. Discard what is left of the vegetables.
• 5. Broth can be served with any kind of small noodles and parsley sprinkled on top. Crushed red pepper is also good if you like it hot/spicy.
• 6. I added a small amount of shredded chicken back into the broth. The rest of the chicken makes a good chicken salad, chicken casserole, etc.
