Gulyas Leves

This is a classic, but meat-less, Hungarian soup. Lots of veggies are simmered in vegetable broth until tender. Then a stiff sticky dough is whipped together and cut into strips and cooked along with the soup until these noodles are al dente and flavorfu

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 large carrots, diced
• 4 large potatoes, diced
• 8 ounces textured vegetable protein
• 2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
• 5 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons water as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a heavy pot, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onions in oil until tender.

Step 2

Add paprika, textured vegetable protein, and green pepper; cook and stir mixture until vegetables are coated with paprika. Stir in broth or water, potatoes, carrots, tomato, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and parsley. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until carrots and potatoes are almost tender. Add more water if needed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together, egg, flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix in enough water to have a smooth consistency; dough should be stiff and sticky. Spoon onto a flat plate, and slice off small amounts into soup while it is simmering. Add to soup in such a way that noodles do not land in the same spot every time. Continue until all mixture has been added to pot. Simmer until done.
