Austrian Goulash Soup image

We toured Austria in the winter and had a lovely tour guide named Ingrid. One of our favorite lunches was goulash soup which could be found in little cafes everywhere. She generously shared her recipe with me. I think of her every time I make this.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp oil
1 lb beef cubed small
1 onion, chopped
2 Tbsp good quality sweet paprika
2 Tbsp flour
2 c water
1 tsp beef bouillon paste, or 1 cube
1/2 c tomato sauce
salt and pepper
2 potatoes, cubed
1 pkg spaetzle (a dried german dumpling that you boil, or make homemade if you wish)

Steps:

  • 1. heat oil in pan and brown the beef.
  • 2. Add the onions and saute until tender.

  • 4. Add the water, bouillon, tomato sauce and salt and pepper. Stir well.
  • 5. Cover and simmer until meat is tender.
  • 6. Add the potatoes and cook until they are tender.
  • 7. While the soup is cooking boil the spaetzle according to the package directions. The ones I use take 25 minutes to cook.
  • 8. Serve by placing a generous spoonful of the spaetzle in the bowl then spoon the goulash over it.
  • 9. Note - some stir in a little cream as soon as you take it off the stove.
