Got this recipe from a Hungarian cookbook my husband’s grandmother gave me. Commonly, this soup is using pork meat and pig’s liver, according to the book, but obviously I used beef/cow đ Never made this soup before so I would not have the slightest idea if original soup (with port/pig) would have similar flavor to the counterpart that is using beef/cow đ

400 g beef, cubed
200 g cow’s liver, cut bite size
3-4 large onion, sliced thinly
salt, ground white pepper to taste
1-2 tsp vinegar
2 generous tbsp cooking oil
2 heaping tbsp flour
1 tbsp roasted paprika powder
2 dl sour cream

Into a pot, bring to boil beef cubes with 2 1/2 L water, seasoned with salt and white pepper. Add in sliced onion.
When beef is half soft, add in vinegar
Once beef completely soft, make roux, then stir in roux into pot, followed with liver
Adjust flavor and cook only for 3-4 minutes long
Serve immediately (with any kinds of pasta you prefer) with a dollop or two of sour cream. Enjoy~
