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
