Healthy, because
The piquant Hungarian goulash soup is not only tasty & ingenious: The meat scores with approx. 2.5 milligrams of iron per 100 grams of beef and thus covers a quarter of the daily requirement. We need this mineral for the formation of blood and an optimal oxygen transport in the body. Paprika and potatoes bring vitamin C into this dish, which not only strengthens the immune system but also supports the body in burning fat.
Even smarter
The classic Hungarian goulash soup is made with red wine, but we deliberately do without it in this soup. This way even children can enjoy the stew without hesitation. Serve the goulash soup with homemade spelt pudding with sea salt. This recipe is ideal as a party dish, as it is well prepared and always goes down well.
