How To Make hungarian potato soup

  • 1
    Lightly fry the onion and parsley in the oil in a big pot. When onion is see through add the diced veggies and stir.
  • 2
    When the onion starts to have a bit of colour add the paprika and toast it for a sec or two till it is fragrant. Add salt.
  • 3
    Add enough water to it to just cover the veggies. Bring to the boil and then simmer slowly till veggies are cooked.
  • 4
    When veggies are cooked crack all 4 eggs in to the soup, whole, one at a time. (like you would poach the egg) and gently simmer with lid on without stirring for a few mins for the egg to cook.
  • 5
    Serve with crusty bread and a dollop of sour cream if you want! It is nice to actually over cook the potato just slightly as it gives the soup a sandy potato bottom... yum!!
