A Selection of Other Iconic Hungarian Soups
Even beyond Culinary Hungary, Hungary’s soup repertoire is vast and beloved:
- Gulyásleves (Goulash Soup) – the quintessential Hungarian soup made with beef, vegetables, paprika, and often csipetke noodles (Budapest.city, Wikipédia).
- Halászlé (Fisherman’s Soup) – fiery red and rich with river fish, onions, peppers, and hot paprika (Budapest.city, Wikipédia).
- Újházi Tyúkhúsleves (Újházi Chicken Soup) – a feast in itself with chicken, vegetables, noodles, peas, and sometimes mushroom, created for actor Ede Újházi (Budapest.city, Offbeat Budapest).
- Jókai Bableves – hearty bean soup with smoked meats, vegetables, and csipetke, named for the writer Mór Jókai (Budapest.city, Wikipédia).
- Palóc Soup (Palócleves) – lighter and slightly sour, often made with green beans and meat, originating from Gundel restaurant legend (Offbeat Budapest, Wikipédia).
- Sour Cherry Soup (Meggyleves) – a tangy cold soup made with sour cherries, sour cream, and spices—perfect for summer (Wikipédia).
