Beef and Bean Goulash Soup
My husband has a vegetable garden and this year his beans have gone crazy, the more he picks the more they keep flowering and growing.
So after many a bean salad, which although delicious, I could eat no more, I had to find other ways to cook beans, and so I found this goulash type soup.
My family love this, when I make this the whole pot goes.
It is so simple to make, and I mean ridiculously simple. It is one of those dishes that after a little preparation, it cooks itself.
We love hot paprika powder, but if you don't like spicy food, just add normal paprika.
You can use chuck steak instead of beef spare ribs, if you prefer.
This is something my mum or mother in law would cook, quite a traditional dish. So if you are looking for a hearty soup, that is simple and tastes great, or your beans have gone crazy to, give this soup a try.
