How To Make gulyásleves (goulash soup)
-
Step 1Heat oil in a large, heavy pot (Dutch oven) over moderate heat. Add the onions, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
-
Step 2Increase the heat to high, add the beef, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, stirring only once or twice, until the meat is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 3Stir in the paprika, marjoram, caraway, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
-
Step 4Add the carrots, parsnips, and beef stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer covered until the beef is nearly tender, about 40 minutes.
-
Step 5Add the potatoes and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the tomato and cook for 2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and serve with rye bread if desired.
