Yikes! They are predicting 70% chance of wintery mix Thursday night with lows in the single digits that night with a high Friday of like 22.

Thanks smokeymose! Your Haluska sounds delicious!! And never have enough bacon!I like this!! Kind of like a stew using ground meat. I've never had anything like it, but now I have another bookmark LOL! I made Haluska (Cabbage & Noodles) yesterday, which also uses bacon and plan on trying this. I'm going to have to make more bacon soon. I seem to be running low :-(
Yep, we're into the time of year that food like this is made for. It was 20 when I got up and it's all the way up to 24 now and I'm not stepping foot out of the house....
Sure hope you can somehow miss out on any ice Jim!Yikes! They are predicting 70% chance of wintery mix Thursday night with lows in the single digits that night with a high Friday of like 22.

That is a hearty soup for cold weather that will stick to your bones. It sure does remind me of some of the Depression era meals that my mother would make.

Sounds good!!Chilly, overcast, and overall a pretty yucky day in Central Texas. Got my batch of this on the stove and starting now. Will update as it comes together.

Thanks for your kind words!That’s a mama soup for sure and I’d love a bowl.
Being that you are a person I trust and have the utmost respect for, I took your words to heart. Used water instead of the beef broth. Having tasted it, I gotta say I absolutely love the deep, rich, tomato flavors. I can only think that the beef broth would negate some of that. Thanks so much for the sage advice!!!Yes , but ,,,,,, the tomato / water base is what makes it what it is .
Adding beef broth gives you something else .
Thanks. Smells and tastes pretty darned good tooSounds good!!
Robert your words are most kind!! Yours is looking so good!!! Your added spices of coriander, cumin , and smoked paprika have intrigued me, as I like all 3 of those! Should make a great supper for you tonight!Alrighty then. It's going full bore now. House smells amazing!! You can smell the bacon simmering, the tomatoes, and seasonings. Kinda makes you want to curl up on the couch with a Hot Totty and a good book....or your pretty wife

Thanks. Smells and tastes pretty darned good tooI had to make a couple of audibles though. First one was to use the big Dutch Oven. Only thing I had large enough for this. Only had 2 cans of tomato paste so used those and a small can of tomato sauce. Shouldn't change much of anything I wouldn't think. Also, after I got it all put together and it started simmering, I could tell it wasn't gonna have the depth of flavor or richness that we enjoy. Added just a touch of coriander, cumin, and smoked paprika. Man oh man did that make a difference!! Brought it all to life without changing the flavor profile in the least. In closing, at least for now, I will say this meal is 100% legit. I know it has a ways to go yet but I'll tell you now, I know we are gonna love this!! Thankyou once again

Well sir, that is what this forum is all about. Let's face it, you've replied positively to a lot of my threads. The least I can do is jump into one of yours and make some factual statementsRobert your words are most kind!!
My childhood was ready to be ruined one Tbls at a time . Lol .Being that you are a person I trust and have the utmost respect for, I took your words to heart. Used water instead of the beef broth.
Yes, truly believe this is a mom recipe and it's tweaked in many different ways, but all ways are very good!Looks really good. My mom used to make something called autumn soup. This looks very similar. That recipe had all the same ingredients except for the bacon.
Lol, yeah its a fitting name for it. Give the bacon a try, I think it adds a lot to the finished taste! Your rice a roni idea sounds very good too!!Hell yeahtbern - now I have a name for the hamburger soup I've been making for years lol. I have never added bacon but that's my fault.
Last time I made it I used a box of beef rice a roni instead of plain rice. It was a hit.
Thanks xray! Nothing wrong with your name of goulash, no matter what everyone calls it, it's great comfort food to enjoy!That soup looks absolutely delicioustbern , and I know exactly how that tastes! There's a similar soup my grandmother would make for us, minus the bacon. We called it Goulash soup (I know, I know... it's not the real thing before someone corrects me) We do a lot of soups around here and this one gets made every winter.
