Put all of the meat into the soup pot and add the peppercorns, nutmeg, bouillon cube, and salt.

Cover with water and bring to a boil.

Clean the vegetables, discarding seeds and tops, except for the parsley root, the leaves of which should be used.

After the meat has simmered for an hour, add the vegetables and cook gently for another hour or until both meat and vegetables are done.

To serve the meat Hungarian style, spoon noodles into soup bowls, and spoon broth over them for the soup course.

The meat and vegetables should be served with crusty black bread as the entree.
