HUNGARIAN GOULASH SOUP
I taught with the Defense Department in Germany (and met my husband, an Air Force pilot, there). Goulash soup was one of the first foods I tried overseas...I pieced this recipe together once I got back home. I make it often-with two little boys, 3 and 1, it's nice knowing that dinner is "under control"!

Tips:
- Use high-quality beef: Choose chuck roast or beef stew meat for the best flavor and texture.
- Brown the beef in batches: This will help to develop a rich flavor and prevent the meat from stewing.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic additions to goulash soup. You can also add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.
- Use a good quality broth: Beef broth or chicken broth are both good choices. You can also use a combination of the two.
- Season the soup well: Use a combination of paprika, garlic, cumin, and caraway seeds to give the soup a classic goulash flavor.
- Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for at least an hour will help to develop the flavors and make the meat tender.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: This will help to balance the richness of the soup.
