60 minutes
Chicken goulash soup is a fragrant and hearty dish of Hungarian cuisine that combines the traditions of rustic cooking. Its roots go back centuries when shepherds cooked filling soups over a fire using available ingredients. This soup stands out with its bright, spicy flavor thanks to red sweet pepper, paprika, and garlic that give it a rich aroma and mild heat. The chicken meat makes it softer and tenderer while potatoes and carrots add thickness and nourishment. Perfect for cold evenings, it warms and satisfies. Served hot with homemade bread or fresh herbs that enhance its taste. Chicken goulash soup is a harmony of simplicity and rich flavor that transports you to cozy Hungarian taverns.
