Delicious Hungarian soup ideas for gloomy autumn days
Warm and rich soups constitute an essential part of autumn cuisine. If you want to try some of our traditional dishes, the Újházi chicken soup, goulash soup, and potato paprikash perfectly represent the intensity of Hungarian flavours. The following recipes are not as strongly rooted in Hungarian cuisine; nonetheless, these tasty soups will definitely warm you up during the chilly autumn days.

If you are going to publish recipes, please be consistent with the measurement units. Jumping from metric to US Imperial and back again is not helpful. It’s also worth noting that in the Anglosphere, few people know what a dkg means because recipes are published using the full measurement ie 400g not 40dkg.
