Real Hungarian Gulyas Soup (not a stew!) By: Katalin R.

Recipe Story

This is a very traditional Hungarian recipe that is a staple of the Hungarian diet where I am from. I am the mother of a 24-year-old daughter with CF, who really likes this filling soup. We live in Los Angeles, California with my husband who is originally from England.
