Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbl Butter
  • 1 chopped Onion
  • 1 1/2 Tbl Ground Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon each -Salt and pepper
  • 2 Tbl Tomato Paste
  • 1 large Carrot- sliced diced if it is very thick
  • 1 1/2 lb. Beef- cubed to 1 inch pieces I often cut down a London Broil
  • 1 clove Garlic- chopped
  • 3/4 tsp. Caraway Seeds
  • ½ tsp. Marjoram
  • 3 large Potatoes
  • 5 cups Beef Stock
  • 1-2 tsp Beef Bouillon I prefer the Better than Bouillon brand

Instructions
 

  • In a large Soup Pot, melt the butter.
  • Add the chopped onion and fry on medium heat, until it is translucent… soft. Then take the pan off of the heat.
  • Stir the Paprika, Salt and pepper, tomato paste and a tablespoon of water into the onions. It will look a bit like a lumpy red paste.
  • Add the Beef cubes, carrot pieces, garlic, marjoram and caraway seeds to the paprika mixture. Stir it up well.
  • Put the pot back on the heat, and heat it up while stirring. When it’s hot, cover, and let simmer over LOW heat for 1 ¼ hours, stirring occasionally. Check to make sure it doesn’t burn… if it gets to dry looking, add a bit of water.
  • After 1 ¼ hours-
  • Peel and cube the potatoes, add to the meat, stir, and then add the beef stock.
  • Simmer, partially covered for 30 more minutes.
  • Taste to see that it’s seasoned right… and adjust to your taste.
  • EAT....( I like to mush up my soup with a fork before eating....)
