Hungarian ear

Halastle, this is the name of this ear in Hungary. Unlike our fish soup, Hungarian soup must have a lot of paprika, tomatoes and peppers. Halastle is prepared from lake and river fish, of which there are many in Hungary. Hungarians love this fish soup so much that several festivals are held in its honor.
