Our favourite Vegan Goulash Soup

 

Published Dec 14, 2020

This recipe is an autumn and winter winner! Rich in vegetables as well as a spicy, warming flavour, if you make it in batches with any ‘leftover’ veggies and freeze it, you have a quick and wholesome lunch or supper dish to bring back the heat after a cold, wet or snowy day. Easy and economical to make. Traditionally a Hungarian dish, there are many ways to make it, but this is our favourite.
