Cook time: 2 h
Total time: 2 h 20 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: German
Ingredients: 1 lb stewing beef, cut into bite-sized pieces; 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 2 carrots, peeled and diced; 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes; 4 cups beef broth; 2 tablespoons tomato paste; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1 teaspoon caraway seeds; Salt and pepper, to taste; Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the stewing beef and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped onions and garlic to the pot and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the carrots, potatoes, and red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and beef broth, stirring to combine.
Add the tomato paste, paprika, and caraway seeds to the pot, stirring well to incorporate the flavors.
Season with salt and pepper to your liking, remembering that you can always adjust the seasoning later.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, covered, for about 1-2 hours until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.
Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick, you can add more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
Ladle the hot goulash soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve the soup piping hot with a side of crusty bread or enjoy it on its own for a satisfying meal that will warm you from the inside out.
