Paprikash with noodles and chicken

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 soup chicken
• 1 onion(s)
• 4 potatoes
• 1 tsp sweet paprika powder
• salt and pepper
• 750 ml water
• 250 g pasta (spiral pasta)

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Wash the chicken, cut it into individual pieces, and then season with salt. Sauté the diced onions in hot fat (I always use the rendered fat that I trim off the chicken) in a pot until golden brown, then add the paprika. Immediately remove the pot from the heat, as otherwise the paprika will become bitter. Deglaze with about 3/4 liter of water and add the meat to the pot, bring to a boil, and put the lid on. In the meantime, peel and dice the potatoes. Cook the chicken until the meat flakes easily from the bone (this depends on the age of the chicken). Remove the meat from the soup and cook the potatoes in it. Remove the meat from the bone and return it to the soup. Season again with salt and pepper, and add the cooked spiral noodles to the soup.
