Czech goulash soup (Gulášová polévka)

Very similar to the famous guláš, this hearty soup employs similar ingredients to create a slightly different dish. It is usually prepared with beef that is browned and simmered alongside onions in a flavorful, paprika-spiced broth.

The soup is commonly enriched with potatoes, and occasionally thickened with a floury roux. A staple in many households and restaurants, the nutritious gulášovka is often accompanied by bread on the side, and it can be enjoyed as an appetizer or the main course.
