Hungarian-Style Paprika Fish Soup (Halászlé)
A single portion of Hungarian cooking, ready in 29 minutes with 9 minutes of prep. Written for one, so there is nothing to halve and nothing to waste. It brings some heat.
Method
- 1
Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion for 4–5 minutes until soft.
- 2
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sweet and hot paprika (this stops it burning and turning bitter).
- 3
Add the tomato, green pepper and stock, return to the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- 4
Add the fish chunks and simmer gently for 6–8 minutes until just cooked through.
- 5
Season to taste and scatter with parsley to serve.
