Ingredients

1 whole cut up chicken
4 - 5 carrots, cut into pieces approximately 4 inches long
4 - 5 celery stalks, cut into pieces approximately 4 inches long
1 whole onion (only remove most outer skin) (do not cut! it goes into the pot whole!)
1 or 2 whole cloves garlic
1 whole tomato (do not cut! it goes into the pot whole!)
1 whole potato (do not cut! it goes into the pot whole!)
1 core of cabbage (set aside outer leaves. use core only)
1/2 to 3/4 parsley root or parsnip cut into large pieces
1 whole green pepper (do not cut! it goes into the pot whole!)
1 bunch of parsley tied together w/white thread
1 Tbsp tablespooon whole black pepper corns
salt to taste

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.

HUNGARIAN CHICKEN SOUP

My Mom, made the greatest chicken soup. Unfortunately she didn't stay with us for long, so I didn't have time to learn from her. It took me years to bring it to perfection. Now I can say that it is "something like" my Mom's was. You can also make it with rooster, but in that case, two thighs, and a half of breast is enough. Enjoy!

Time 4h45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 whole chicken
salt
peppercorn
Accent seasoning
water
8 pieces carrots
2 white carrots
1 celery root
1 kohlrabi
1 small onion
1 tomatoes
3 garlic cloves
1 small potato
1 paprika, with no stem
thin noodles

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!

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and nutrients.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. Hungarian cuisine is known for its bold flavors, so don't be afraid to add a little paprika, garlic, or caraway seeds to your soup.
Let the soup simmer for a long time. This will help the flavors to develop and deepen.
Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will add richness and creaminess to the soup.

Hungarian chicken soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile soup, so you can easily customize it to your own taste.
