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!"

directions

  • 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!
