Ingredients: 1 free-range hen (1.5–2 kg), cut into pieces; 3 medium carrots; 1 parsnip; 1 parsley root; ¼ celeriac (approx. 150 g); 1 large onion; 2 garlic cloves; 1 small yellow bell pepper (optional, Banat characteristic); 2 small tomatoes or 1 tbsp tomato purée; 1 tbsp salt, whole black peppercorns to taste; 3–3.5 litres cold water; 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped (for serving); 200 g plain flour (type 550), plus extra for dusting; 2 large eggs; a pinch of salt; 1 tbsp oil (optional, for tenderness)

Banat-style chicken soup with homemade noodles is a clear, golden broth slow-simmered from a free-range hen with root vegetables. The homemade egg noodles — rolled, cut, and dried on a board — are added at the end, giving the soup a full body and unmistakable texture. It is the quintessential Sunday meal in Banat households.
