Hungarian Chicken Vegetable Dumpling Soup Recipes

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!

GRANDMA'S EASY HUNGARIAN DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Put the broth, chicken, & parsley flakes in a pot and begin heating.
• 2. Meantime make the dumplings: put the flour in a bowl with the baking powder & salt, mix well. Put the eggs in a measuring cup and beat with a fork then add milk to make a cup. (this should be enough milk but if not add more milk). Make it a consistency that can be dropped off a spoon.
• 3. When the soup begins to boil dip your spoon to heat it so the dumpling mixture does not stick to the spoon. Take appx. a teaspoon of mixture and dip it into the soup until all the dumplings are in the soup.
• 4. After the last dumpling is put in the soup, cook for just a few minutes, they cook very quickly you are ready to eat!
• 5. Note: you can put carrots, onions, celery or any thing else you want in this soup. My husband cannot eat somethings so I make it plain and it is great. Make on a cold winter day and it will warm you right up!
