Jókai bableves is a flavorful Hungarian bean soup named after the famous writer Mór Jókai, who was a big fan of the dish. It is made with beans, smoked sausages, smoked meat, and vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, carrots, and celery.
The soup is typically flavored with vinegar and sour cream. When the vegetables become tender and the soup develops a thick consistency, it is ready to be consumed. Jókai bableves is especially popular on cold winter days.
