Hungarian green bean soup with meat "Palócleves"

Lietuviška šio recepto versija yra čia.

Mild flavor soup with a little bit of sourish taste. This is not a classic Hungarian green bean soup, because we used the meat.

You will need (for a big pot of soup):

• 1 big red onion
• 3 spoons of oil
• sweet paprika powder
• cumin seeds
• ground black pepper
• 1 clove of garlic
• salt to taste
• 1 bay leaf
• 500 gr. of pork
• 500 gr. of potatoes
• 500 gr. of green beans and some vinegar or canned green beans
• water
• 200 gr. of sour-cream
• 1 tablespoon of flour

For pasta you will need (optional):

• 2 eggs
• 6 tablespoons of flour
• salt to taste
• water if necessary

How to make pasta watch here.

Preparation:

Chop onions and bake them in a pot with some oil.
Cut meat in cubes and bake together with onions. When the meat is no longer red, take the pan from the heat. Add pepper, sweet paprika powder, couple pinches of cumin seeds, ground garlic and stir.
Season with salt and add some water - it should cover the meat mass. Add bay leaves. Put the pot back on the stove and boil on the medium heat.
Clean the potatoes and cut in small peaces.
When the meat is half ready, put cleaned green beans and cut potatoes into the soup.
When the meat is ready (potatoes and beans should also be soft), add sour-cream with flour into separate bowl and mix well. Add few ladles of water from the soup. Mix. Put it back to the soup and mix again. Boil the soup. Make your pasta directly into the soup (the method is here). Cook few minutes more and turn off the heat. If you were cooking from fresh beans, add some vinegar to taste - it will give some sourish taste.
