Get the Recipe: Hungarian Chicken Mushroom Soup
An easy and delicious Hungarian mushroom chicken soup, filled with mushrooms and chicken, in a lightly creamy paprika-flavoured soup.
Ingredients
- 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast, diced or about 1 1/4 cups diced cooked chicken
- Cooking oil
- 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, a standard tray
- 10 button mushrooms, halved (optional)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 Tablespoon paprika, preferably Hungarian sweet paprika
- Pinch dried dill
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
To thicken and add creaminess:
- 1/4 cup whipping cream, or half and half cream
- 2 Tablespoon cornstarch
To serve:
- Sour cream
- Additional chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- If starting with an uncooked chicken breast: In a large soup pot, heat a bit of cooking oil over medium heat, add diced chicken and cook, stirring, until just cooked through. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
- Heat a bit more oil in pan. Add diced onion and cook over medium heat, stirring, just until softened. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring regularly, until mushrooms are softened. Add chicken broth, paprika and dill. Add cooked chicken back to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavours to develop. Taste soup and season with salt and pepper, as needed. Stir in chopped parsley.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cream and cornstarch. Add about 1/2 the mixture to the soup and cook, stirring, for 1 minute to thicken. Add more of the cream mixture to the soup as needed, until soup is thickened to your liking.
- Spoon soup into serving bowls. Top with a dollop of sour cream and additional chopped fresh parsley.
