Original goulash soup
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The originality of this soup lies in the addition of beer and coffee. It might seem strange—why add these? But the taste truly changes for the better. The result is very tasty and filling, a thick, rich soup that, after standing for a while, stops resembling soup altogether and becomes more like goulash. Serve hot.
