What It Goulash?

Goulash is essentially a soup made with meat and vegetables, and is usually seasoned with paprika as well as other spices.

It originated in Hungary hundreds of years ago. Goulash is one of the official national dishes of Hungary and is even a symbol of that country.

So that is the official definition, but here in America, this iconic recipe took a turn…
