Easy Hungarian Goulash🇭🇺

Perfect choice! 🇭🇺 Hungarian Gulyásleves (Goulash Soup) is one of the most famous Hungarian dishes – a hearty beef and paprika stew-like soup. Traditionally it’s slow-cooked in a cauldron (bogrács) over open fire, but I’ll give you an easy stovetop version that captures the authentic flavors with less effort.
