Köménymagleves

Köménymagleves is a traditional soup prepared with caraway seeds as the main ingredient. The caraway seeds are cooked with flour and oil or fat to make a golden brown roux. The roux is then mixed with water and beaten eggs, and flavored with salt, pepper, and paprika.

This soup is served hot, usually with croutons on top. In the past, the recipe was even simpler because people rarely used eggs or additional spices. According to Hungarian folk beliefs, this soup is great against stomachaches.
