Today we will show you how to cook a special type of “soup”, or as we call it, főzelék.
Did I say special? It’s so easy to cook, you’ll be blown away!
All you need are:
1. green beans (frozen, this time, but you can use the same recipe for fresh),
2. sour cream (3 tablespoons, this is why it’s not a vegan recipe),
3. flour (2 tablespoons),
4. salt, or dried vegetable mix, that we call “vegeta” – available in Polish shops, probably under the brand name “Vegeta”, or “Kucharek” (but you don’t need to overcomplicate it: use salt, that’s easy!)
5. pepper
water
and optionally paprika

1. Put the beans on high heat into a large dish and pour some water in it. (You can use a kettle to make things faster.)
2. Put some salt and pepper, as you like them. Mix them into the beans.
3. Once the water is boiling under the green beans, put them on lower heat. Stir gently.
4. Preparing the thickener: put 3 tablespoons of sour cream in a small bowl. Stir two tablespoons of flour into it and mix them.
5. After 5-8 minutes of cooking, once the beans are easy to break, put the thickener in the beans, and mix them.
6. Stir the mix constantly for five minutes on lower heat. Optionally, you can put some paprika in it at this point.

Then it’ll be ready! Enjoy!
You can serve it on its own, with egg, or if you do like some meat, you can put some meat in it! Recommended to have some bread on the side – that’s how we traditionally eat this in Hungary!
