Bowl of red beef and vegetable soup served beside sliced bread.

Gulyásleves

Hungary · Europe

Short description
This warming soup combines beef, vegetables, and paprika in a broth that is usually thinner than a stew.
Ingredients
Beef, paprika, onion, potatoes, carrot, caraway, garlic, and stock simmered into a hearty red soup.
Cultural note
Its herder-name roots and paprika flavor helped turn a practical meat-and-vegetable soup into a national-symbol meal.
Common misconception
Outside its home cuisine, the name is often used for thick stews; this version is normally soup-like and spoonable.
