Notes

Cooking Tips:
  1. Use high-quality lamb: The key to making great Hungarian lamb soup is using high-quality spring lamb. Look for lamb that is tender and flavorful, and avoid meat that is tough or gamey.
  2. Choose fresh vegetables: The vegetables in Hungarian lamb soup should be fresh and crisp. Look for carrots and celery roots that are firm and free from blemishes.
  3. Simmer the soup slowly: To get the most flavor out of the lamb meat and vegetables, it is important to simmer the soup slowly. This allows the flavors to meld together and develop a rich, complex taste.
  4. Don’t overcook the lamb: Lamb should be tender and flavorful, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the lamb until it is just cooked through, and no longer pink in the middle.
  5. Serve with crusty bread or dumplings: Hungarian lamb soup is traditionally served with a side of crusty bread or homemade dumplings. Either option is delicious, so choose the one that you prefer.

Final Notes for the Hungarian Lamb Soup Recipe

➡️ Lamb soup is definitely one of the top Easter soup recipes in Hungary. Everyone loves this soup, so most families cook lamb vegetable soup for Easter. In fact, the soup is so popular that it is made all spring long. There are several recipes available and one that I like the most is the version with flour dumplings (the one I share on this page).

➡️ There are not many cooking tips to share about this Hungarian soup recipe, as it is very simple. Perhaps the most important tip is to remove large chunks of fat from the lamb, otherwise, the soup will taste greasy, and unpleasant.

➡️ Another tip that I find useful is to cut the meat into smaller pieces. This will reduce the cooking time and make serving the soup on the plate easier.

➡️ It is also very important to cook the soup at a low temperature. In this way, the meat softens well and is combined better with other ingredients in the pot.

➡️ As for vinegar, Hungarians do not like to eat this soup with a too sour taste, in general. I like a moderate sour taste, but of course, everyone can add an amount of vinegar to their own taste. I prefer to add mustard instead of vinegar.

➡️ As I wrote above, I replace vinegar with spicy or classic mustard. Here’s how: I put a tablespoon of mustard on the plate, add a tablespoon of sour cream, then combine them well with a spoon and, finely, add 2-3 tablespoons of hot soup over this mixture. You have to try this variant of the Hungarian lamb soup with dumplings at least once because it is simply heavenly and you will like it the most!

➡️ Whichever way you make Hungarian lamb soup with dumplings, this soup recipe is one of the best to celebrate Easter and all fans of Hungarian cuisine should try it! No one will regret it!

➡️ Hungarian lamb soup is a classic dish that has been enjoyed by generations of Hungarian families. This soup is made with tender pieces of lamb, which are simmered in a flavorful broth along with an array of vegetables, including carrots and parsnips. The soup is seasoned with a combination of herbs and spices that give it a unique flavor profile. This soup is a filling and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion.
