ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 1/2 pound beef stew meat, diced
6 cups beef broth
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons flour
1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
salt and pepper, to taste
directions
Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned.
Add the paprika, vinegar, beef, broth, marjoram, caraway seeds, and tomato paste to the pot. Mix well. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the beef is tender.
Remove some of the liquid from the pot and mix it with the flour until smooth. Stir it back into the pot along with the potatoes. Cook at a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
recipe tips
Browning the meat before adding it to the soup can enhance the flavor and texture.
Try adding a bay leaf during cooking. Remember to remove it before serving the soup.
For a richer soup, brown the onions over low heat until they are caramelized.
If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water to adjust the consistency.
For a heartier soup, add more vegetables like carrots or celery.
Letting the soup rest for a while after cooking can improve the flavors.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Pairing the soup with crusty bread makes for a filling meal.
Try adding a splash of red wine for a more complex flavor.
Adjust the amount of caraway seeds as desired as they have a distinct flavor.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently for the next day's meal.
common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of meat?
Pork or chicken can be used, adjust the cooking time as needed.
What can I substitute for paprika?
Smoked paprika or a mild chili powder can be used as alternatives.
Can I use a different type of broth?
Vegetable or chicken broth can be used, but beef broth is recommended for authentic flavor.
What can I use instead of marjoram?
Oregano or thyme can be used as substitutes.
Is there a substitute for caraway seeds?
Fennel seeds or a pinch of cumin can be used, but the flavor will be different.
How can I thicken the soup if I don't have flour?
Cornstarch mixed with water or potato starch can be used as a thickener.
What type of potatoes should I use?
You want a potato that will not fall apart when it cooks. Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes or even fingerlings work well in this recipe.
Can I freeze this goulash soup?
Yes, you can. The potatoes may break down a bit when reheated but otherwise it freezes well. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
