• to release the natural oils from veggies.) About 10 minutes.

• Add the chicken breast.
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken base and water.

• Meanwhile prepare dumpling dough:.
• I use a small processor.
• 1 1/2 cups flour.
• 2 eggs.
• 1/4 teaspoons salt.
• 1/2 cup water.
• Process or beat until the dough is stretchy. Cover and set aside.
• When the veggies are tender the the breast is cool enough to handle cube it and return to soup.
• Using the long side of a tablespoon, make small dumplings 1"x1/4" and release in simmering soup. Let dumplings cook until they rise to the top and continue to simmer for about 5 minute.
• So that the soup is not watery, it is thickened using:.

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!

HUNGARIAN POTATO AND SAUSAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add sausage and cook and stir until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove sausage to a bowl, leaving behind any butter in the pot.
• Toss onion into the pot with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent and picks up a brown color from the meat juices in the pan, 4 to 5 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and paprika; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the paprika.
• Stir in 5 cups chicken broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally so flour does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Stir in cabbage and cook until it just loses its stiffness, about 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes and bring back to a simmer. Add black pepper, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf, plus a splash of chicken broth if desired. Bring back to a simmer.
• Stir soup and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are very soft and tender, about 30 minutes. Add sausage and vinegar and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt.
