Goulash means soul of meat and vegetable s with spices. It was eaten by Hungary's herdsman. It wasn't til later that vegetables and paprika were added to a basic meat stew. But again this doesn't say it's a Hungarian goulash. So don't compare it to that. This is just this person's version of a meat stew. And it's made in the stovetop with on hand ingredients to make it easy. That's all! Just enjoy and tweek as you like. If you want authentic Hungarian goulash look up that recipe!

years ago I got bored with a favorite family dish of macaroni, hamb, onions and canned tomatoes and came up with a similar dish with the tomato soup. this dish is open to almost any change. add any veggies, spices or whatever. you can do spicy or Italian. this recipe is the base for you to be creative and have a great meal in a short time. try it with cooked macaroni mixed in at the begining<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"09\/10\/2016 22:12","GUID":"2097a29d479149c6830d6cc7b45d1baf","MemberId":2915124,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ddyoungdd","SubmittedDate":"09\/10\/2016 22:07"},{"Comment":"

We did not care for the sweetness the tomato soup gave it. I also added a bit of cornstarch to thicken it up a bit. It makes a lot and was better the second day but I will probably not make again.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"09\/01\/2016 12:33","GUID":"4DFD1D38F2634476874431DFC1B84A41","MemberId":791731,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"wunsagin","SubmittedDate":"09\/01\/2016 12:33"},{"Comment":"

They say the way to a man's heart is via their stomach. So true! I was in love with my wife as a person before, during and after this recipe she made exclusively for my grouchy stomach. After the meal, I also fell in love with her as a chef all over again. ;-D<\/p>

P.S. I did end up adding a couple of spicy spices to the dish. I prefer my food with lots of heat.<\/p>

Thank you for sharing this recipe! :)<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"10\/30\/2015 00:49","GUID":"342387959eaf4d90bce4edfbd6c36a1e","MemberId":6359646,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"kalmanizer","SubmittedDate":"10\/29\/2015 16:26"},{"Comment":"

I don't get why people get so upset about what recipe donors call their recipes. It does not matter if it called a goulash or whatever,it is up to them what they want to call it.

Very easy and with a family pleasing taste. Just because something doesn't meet a person's 'own' definition doesn't mean it's not good.

Please don't condemn a recipe because it doesn't suit your vocabulary and definition. The rating of a recipe should be based on taste, texture, enjoyment by family, etc., not just your definition. Many people see goulash as many ingredients thrown together, rather than an ethnic dish with particular ingredients, spices, etc.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"01\/09\/2015 09:26","GUID":"b8b66451cfc04347bb65881ac51c9e50","MemberId":6124838,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"iteach5","SubmittedDate":"01\/09\/2015 09:26"},{"Comment":"
