Heavenly Chicken Soup, Hungarian Style image

This unique and delicious recipe for chicken soup was passed on to me by my husband's sister. They are a Hungarian family, and this is an old family recipe. As my husband always says, this soup is to die for. The most interesting part of this recipe is that a lot of the vegetables go into the pot whole, but by the end of the...

Number Of Ingredients 13

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.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

I accidentally used chicken broth instead of water. The soup was still delicious, but it was a bit too salty for my taste.

I'm not a fan of paprika, so I used less than the recipe called for. It turned out great!

This soup was absolutely delicious! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. I will definitely be making this again.
