Gulyásleves

Gulyásleves

"Gulyásleves" ("gulyás" soup, "leves" is soup in Hungarian), is a Hungarian soup, made of beef, vegetables, ground paprika and other spices. It originates from a dish cooked by the cattlemen ("gulyás" also means cowherd) who tended their herds in the Great Hungarian Plain, known as the "Alföld" or "Puszta" in Hungarian. These Hungarian cowboys often camped out with their cattle days away from populated areas, so they had to make their food from ingredients they could carry with themselves, and this food had to be cooked in the one available portable cauldron (called "bogrács") over an open fire.

The original dish called "bográcsgulyás" was a stew, not a soup. Traditional Hungarian "bográcsgulyás" (cauldron gulyás) is often still cooked outdoors over an open fire in a cauldron, a Hungarian style "Barbecue".Later on when the dish left the peasant cuisines and became popular even in the town, it started to be cooked more like a soup. Nowadays the dish served in the Hungarian restaurants is a soup, but the locals cook the dish called "gulyás " as a stew and "gulyasleves" ("leves" means soup) like a soup. There are different variations of the recipe. The meat is beef, but often mixed meats are used (e.g. beef, pork and mutton/lamb). Tomatoes, carrots and fresh peppers (often hot chilies) are also added. Onions, paprika and caraway seeds provide its flavour.Cubed potatoes or pasta squares are typically added to this spicy soup. This dish is not to be confused with other dishes called "pörkölt" or "paprikás".
