Goulash soup is one of the most famous and beloved dishes of Hungarian cuisine, enchanting both locals and international food lovers for centuries. This rich, flavorful soup is the perfect choice for a hearty lunch or dinner and can be enjoyed in an authentic setting at the Főőrség Restaurant and Café.
What is the secret of goulash soup?
The secret to a perfect goulash soup lies in carefully selected, fresh ingredients and traditional cooking techniques. The base begins with onions sautéed in fat, followed by the addition of bell peppers and tomatoes to create a rich pörkölt (stew) foundation. The slow-cooked beef and a harmonious blend of spices—including ground paprika, caraway seeds, and garlic—give the soup its distinctive and rich flavor.
Fresh vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, and celery, along with homemade “csipetke” dumplings, make this dish even more substantial and delicious. Served with rustic sourdough bread, this traditional Hungarian delicacy is a must-try.
