🍲 Hungarian Chicken Soup (Tyúkhúsleves)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken into a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a gentle simmer. Skim off any foam.
  2. Add carrots, parsnips, onion, celery root, kohlrabi (if using), peppercorns, bay leaves, and salt.
  3. Reduce heat and cook very slowly for 2–3 hours until the chicken is tender and broth is rich.
  4. Strain the broth, reserving the chicken and vegetables.
  5. Cook the egg noodles separately, then add them to the broth before serving.
  6. Serve hot with pieces of chicken, vegetables, and fresh parsley.

✨ This soup is clear, golden, and full of flavor — the kind of recipe Hungarian grandmas swear by for both family gatherings and cold winter days.
