Taste of Home
Hungarian Goulash Soup
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Cook: 2 hours
YIELD: 8 servings (about 2 quarts).
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"!
