Vegetarian Soup Recipes – Goulash
Originating in Hungary, goulash is a popular dish across Eastern Europe and North Eastern Italy. It is primarily a soup or stew prepared with a combination of different types of meat vegetables seasoned with paprika and served over noodles or rice.
In Hungary traditional gulyásleves (‘goulash soup’), was made by cattle herders and stockmen tending their herds on the Great Hungarian Plain. Originally the dish was similar to a stew and was called ‘bogracsgulyas’. But when served in Hungarian restaurants it is a soup. Except ‘paprikás’ (paprika chicken stew), no other relies on flours or roux for thickening.
Some popular Hungarian goulash variations:
Gulyás Hungarian Plain Style – vegetables are added and pasta (csipetke) is left out.
Mock Gulyás – made from meat and vegetables.
Bean Gulyás – made from kidney beans.
