NOTE from Jolie: The popularity of Goulash in the Hungarian home is well known. By the addition of more meat cubes this hearty Goulash Soup may be served as a main dish. You may vary the flavor by adding favorite seasonings. Gutes aus Ungarn means Something Good from Hungary and Scharf means HOT (as in spicy). I have a Hungarian Goulash Soup recipe for you by Jolie Gabor (yes, the Gabor sisters' mother) <G> I haven't personally tried this recipe, but am posting it here for your perusal... Enjoy!
