Heavenly Chicken Soup Hungarian Style Recipes

HEAVENLY CHICKEN SOUP, HUNGARIAN STYLE

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

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!
