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....)
