Rustic Hungarian Pan-Fried Shrimp Soup

Assemble the ingredients: shrimp, carrot, olive oil, salt, bell pepper, turmeric, cumin.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the shrimp and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Hungarian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Hungarian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
