GOULASH INSPIRED SOUP STEW

I really don’t know what to call this dish. Its basically heavily inspired by a Hungarian Goulash recipe I have and using up ingredients in my freezer and fridge. The original recipe (which I’ll have to transfer over from Goodgrub one of these days) uses copious amounts of paprika and black pepper. I didn’t use as many onions as I usually would and threw in some zucchini.

It turned out lip-smacking good. Like a cross between goulash, mild chili, and a hamburger tomato soup.
