Ingredients
  

4 medium red potatoes, diced

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (red or green), diced

2 medium carrots, sliced

2 cups vegetable broth

1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

2 tablespoons paprika (sweet or smoked)

1 teaspoon caraway seeds

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).

    Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced bell pepper and sliced carrots. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

      Incorporate Potatoes: Add the diced red potatoes to the pot, mixing them with the other vegetables. Cook for another 3 minutes, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors.

        Spice it Up: Sprinkle paprika, caraway seeds, and thyme over the vegetable mixture, stirring well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

          Add Liquids: Pour in the vegetable broth and crushed tomatoes, stirring everything together.

            Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors meld beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

              Season to Taste: Once cooked, season the goulash with salt and pepper according to your preference.

                Serve: Ladle the goulash into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
