We toured Austria in the winter and had a lovely tour guide named Ingrid. One of our favorite lunches was goulash soup which could be found in little cafes everywhere. She generously shared her recipe with me. I think of her every time I make this.

    Add the onions and saute until tender.

    Note - some stir in a little cream as soon as you take it off the stove.
