Preparation
Kitchen utensils
1 Cutting board, 1 Small knife, 1 Teaspoon, 1 Non-stick pan, 1 Small bowl, 1 Tablespoon
Preparation steps
1.
Saute olive oil, onions and garlic in a Dutch oven over medium heat until golden brown. Stir in the caraway seeds. Remove the pot from heat and let cool. Once cool, add the paprika and stir well. Add the meat and season with salt. Return the pot to medium heat and brown the beef on all sides, stirring frequently and adding beef stock as necessary, to keep the meat from sticking or drying out.
2.
When the meat is nicely browned, add more beef stock, cover and let the meat stew until tender. Once the meat is soft, add the cubed potatoes, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and any remaining beef stock (add water as necessary to make a total of about 3 liters of soup).
3.
Bring soup to a boil, lower heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
4.
Ladle into bowls and serve with hearty bread.
