German Goulash Soup
Hearty German Goulash Soup,"Herzhafte Deutsche Gulaschsuppe." I was in Germany,managing a communications project for NATO when I had my first bowl of German Gulaschsuppe. Some friends took me to Glaabsbrau am Bahnnof Resturant in Seligenstadt (pictured below). The resturant is located in the Glaabsbrau Brewery. This still remains today the best German goulash I have ever eaten.
