Paloc Soup (Palócleves)🇭🇺

Ah, Palóc Soup (Palócleves) is a classic Hungarian dish—light, slightly sour, and packed with tender meat and vegetables. It’s like a cross between goulash and sour soup. Here’s a traditional recipe:


Ingredients (serves 4–6)

  • 500g beef (stewing beef or tender chunks) or pork (optional: mix with smoked meat)
  • 150–200g green beans, trimmed and cut into 2–3 inch pieces
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1 small parsnip, diced (optional)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or lard
  • 1 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika
  • 1–2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1–2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice (to taste)
  • Fresh dill for garnish
