Hungarian Chicken Soup
1 large fryer, cut into pieces
1 gallon cold water
1 T. salt
1 T. black pepper
2 T. Hungarian paprika
3 large carrots, peeled and cut in half
3 small potatoes, peeled
1 wedge of cabbage (1/4 of a small head)
1 bunch of parsley, tied together
1 whole medium-size onion
Place the fryer pieces in the water in a large pot. Bring the liquid to a boil.
Foam will float to the top. Scoop off and discard the foam.
Add salt, black pepper and paprika and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Add
vegetables and simmer slowly, covered, until all vegetables are tender. Remove
and discard the onion and parsley.
Place the vegetables and chicken in a bowl and strain the broth to remove
