Easy Hamburger Soup🇭🇺

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Brown the meat
   • In a large pot, heat oil/lard.
   • Add onion and cook until translucent.
   • Add ground beef, breaking it apart, and cook until browned.
2. Build the flavors
   • Stir in garlic and bell pepper, cook 2 minutes.
   • Add paprika (sweet + smoked), stirring quickly so it doesn’t burn.
3. Simmer the soup
   • Add carrots, potatoes, diced tomatoes, bay leaf, and broth.
   • Season with salt and pepper.
   • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25–30 minutes, until veggies are tender.
4. Finish & serve
   • Remove bay leaf.
   • Taste and adjust seasoning.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

✨ Serving suggestions:

• Enjoy with fresh bread or a slice of Hungarian rye.
• For a more authentic twist, add a dollop of tejföl (sour cream) before serving.

Would you like me to also give you a spicy version (a bit like a Hungarian gulyás-hamburger soup fusion with hot paprika or chili)?
