Beef Goulash Soup
A hearty, paprika-rich Hungarian beef soup with potatoes and vegetables.
Ingredients
- 800g beef shin, cubed
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 carrots, 1 parsnip, diced
- 4 potatoes, diced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 1.5L beef stock
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt, pepper, oil
Method
Brown the beef in batches in a large pot, then set aside. Cook the onions until soft, take the pot off the heat and stir in the paprika so it doesn't burn.
Return the beef to the pot, add the caraway, garlic, bay leaves and stock, and simmer covered for 1.5 hours.
Add the carrots, parsnip, red pepper and tomatoes, and simmer for another 30 minutes.
Add the potatoes and cook for a final 20-25 minutes until everything is tender.
Season to taste and serve hot with crusty bread.
