Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.

- Stir in the sweet paprika, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.

- Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and chopped green bell pepper to the pot. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked through.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve the Hungarian Goulash Soup hot, with a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
Hungarian Goulash Soup, also known as gulyásleves, is a traditional Hungarian dish with a rich history dating back to the 9th century.

The soup is made with tender beef, onions, paprika, and caraway seeds, creating a flavorful and aromatic dish. Today, it is a staple in Hungarian cuisine and is enjoyed in homes and restaurants across the country.
