This must have been Dracula’s favorite snack food in between victims. After all, it is named after his home town. In fact, he may have used this warm hearty dish to lure in his victims from the blistery cold streets of Transylvania. Even now the aroma may warm the Count by allowing him to reminisce “the good old days” when all it took was a delicious warm soup to lure his victims off the streets versus a pair of Louis Vuitton these days. This is an easy recipe that will warm the coldest of souls and is perfect for the season.
