Goulash Soup

Recipe #276292 | 2½ hours | 20 min prep | SERVES 10 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: MarthaStewartWanabe

I'm unsure where this recipe originated but have been told it is a traditional Hungarian dish. It is slightly spicy, the meat is very tender and it is overall absolutely delicious. The recipe originally called for two tablespoons of paprika, but I reduced it to 1 1/2 to slightly decrease the heat. You can decrease the paprika further if desired. I recommend this soup to anyone searching for tummy-warming comfort food on a cold winter day. (Note: I am unsure why when one of the reviewers attempted this recipe, there was an inadequate amount of liquid. I have followed this exact recipe many times, all with the same successful result. If you're still a little hesitant, I guess it wouldn't hurt to add more liquid than directed, but remember to compensate by increasing the spice amounts. Also remember to use medium-sized potatoes only or a decreased amount of large potatoes, as using too much would make a difference as well. Hopefully this note helps!)

    The flavour of this soup was nice, but I had to add three additional cups of liquid, just to make it somewhat soup like, otherwise it was looking more like an under cooked potato stir fry. I increased the paprika to compensate for the extra liquid. Even with the extra liquid, I would say this was more like 8 servings, rather than 12. The wine and caraway were a nice touch, and I think veal would be a nice substitution for the beef. The final product was quite tasty. Thanks MarthaStewartWanabe!
