Traditional dishes such as the world-famous Goulash (''gulyás'' stew or ''gulyás'' soup) feature prominently in Hungarian cuisine. Dishes are often flavoured with paprika (ground red peppers), a Hungarian innovation. The paprika powder, obtained from a special type of pepper, is one of the most common spices used in typical Hungarian cuisine. Thick, heavy Hungarian sour cream called ''tejföl'' is often used to soften the dishes' flavour. The famous Hungarian hot river fish soup called Fisherman's soup or ''halászlé'' is usually a rich mixture of several kinds of poached fish.
