Recipes Soups
According to legend, János Gundel created this for Kálmán Mikszáth, who asked for 'a soup like I've never eaten before'. The result is a piquant masterpiece: fresh green beans, bright dill, and creamy sour cream thickening meet deep stew base flavours. The tart flavour profile is key, making this substantial soup feel light.

Instructions

1 ✓

Sauté the finely chopped onion in fat. Remove from heat, stir in paprika and cumin.

Tip: Cumin releases its flavour best dissolved in fat.
2 ✓

Add diced meat and crushed garlic. Fry until whitened, then pour over enough water to cover. Salt, pepper, add bay leaf.

Tip: Practically you are making a stew base.
3 ✓

Simmer meat covered until almost soft (approx. 40 mins). Then add diced potatoes and chopped green beans.

Tip: Vegetables need less time than meat, that's why they go in later.
4 ✓

Pour in full amount of water (approx. 1-1.5 litres) and cook vegetables until done.

Tip: Now it should have soup consistency.
5 ✓

Mix sour cream with flour and a ladle of hot soup until smooth (tempering), then drizzle into the soup. Boil together.

Tip: The thickening makes the liquid creamy and silky.
6 ✓

Finally, sprinkle with fresh chopped dill, and season with lemon juice or vinegar to taste.

Tip: Dill is heat sensitive, best at the end of cooking.
