Ingredients
- ⅔ pound ground beef (e.g., beef chuck)
- 2 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 Tablespoon lard (or sunflower oil / Canola)
- 1 onion peeled, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic peeled, minced
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds crushed
- 1 Tablespoon sweet paprika powder
- 1 Tablespoon dried marjoram
- 4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 5 cups beef broth warm
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- salt
Instructions
- Make ahead: Peel and finely chop 1 onion. Do the same with 3 cloves garlic: peel and mince them. Crush 1 teaspoon caraway seeds coarsely in an electric grinder or by hand in a mortar. Peel 2 medium potatoes and slice them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes.
- In a heavy-bottomed soup pot or dutch oven, melt 1 Tablespoon lard over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté while stirring until light brown.
- Add the caraway seeds and ⅔ pound ground beef. Break the meat into small pieces while stirring and sauté until all the juices that the meat has released have evaporated. Slightly turn up the heat to speed up the process. Stir frequently.
- Add 4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour to the meat. Reduce the heat to a third, and fry the flour with the meat for one minute, stirring constantly.
- Add minced garlic and 1 Tablespoon sweet paprika powder. Mix thoroughly. Gradually, pour in the 5 cups beef broth - whisk constantly to avoid lumps.
- Stir, season with salt (the exact amount depends on the saltiness of the used broth), and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat to a minimum.
- Add potato cubes to the soup together with 1 Tablespoon dried marjoram.
- Cook the soup over low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Stir the soup occasionally. If necessary, salt and pepper the finished soup to your liking.
Notes
- SERVING:
- STORAGE:
- The basic recipe makes 4 portions.
- SERVING: In the Czech Republic, goulash soup is usually served as the first course on the lunch menu. Or enjoy the soup as a lighter dinner. Garnish the soup in a bowl with a few fresh parsley leaves or marjoram (optional). Goulash soup goes perfectly with a slice of rye bread or white bread.
- STORAGE: If you have leftover goulash soup, let it cool and store it in the fridge. It will keep for about four days. Heat the soup in a pot on the stove (recommended method) or in the microwave.
- As with other goulash-based dishes, this soup tastes better the next day after the flavors have blended.
