recipe for homemade Goulash Soup. Goulash is a hearty Hungarian soup that’s perfect for cold weather. Here’s a simple recipe for making it:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (450g) beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons paprika (sweet or hot, depending on your preference)
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sour cream (for garnish)
• Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for a few minutes until they become translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and caraway seeds (if using) and sauté for another minute or until fragrant.
3. Stir in the beef stew meat and cook until it’s browned on all sides.
4. Add the paprika and tomato paste to the pot. Stir well to coat the meat, onions, and garlic with the spices.
5. Add the diced bell peppers and continue to cook for a few more minutes, allowing the peppers to soften.
6. Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the beef becomes tender.
7. Add the diced potatoes to the soup and cook until they are soft and cooked through, usually about 15-20 minutes.
