Bograch is not just a soup, but a real fairy tale on a plate. Its rich aroma and deep flavour turn even an ordinary day into a holiday. Cooked in a cauldron or pot, it preserves the spirit of Hungarian cuisine — thick, spicy, with a slight smokiness and tender pieces of meat. This dish is designed to bring people together: it warms the body and soul, giving a feeling of home comfort.


Variations

For a richer flavour, you can add smoked lard or bacon.

If you like spicy dishes, use hot paprika or chilli.

Bograch can also be made with beef and pork at the same time.


Secrets of tenderness and flavour

Before cooking, marinate the meat in paprika and spices — this will make it more aromatic.

Take your time: bograch likes to be simmered slowly, which brings out the flavour of each ingredient.

Don't skimp on the paprika — it's what creates the classic Hungarian flavour.


Tips on ingredients

Use beef with a small layer of fat — it stays juicy even after long cooking.

The paprika should be high quality, preferably Hungarian — it gives a rich red colour and deep aroma.

It is better to use medium-starch potatoes so that they do not overcook.


Small culinary nuances

Stir the bograch constantly during cooking to prevent it from burning.

Keep the dish on medium heat so that the vegetables and meat cook evenly.

Before serving, let the bograch steep for 10–15 minutes — the flavour will become deeper.
