Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Beef; chuck, shin or neck
2 tablespoons Lard, rendered beef fat or bacon fat
1 large Onion; chopped
1 tablespoon [heaping] Hungarian sweet paprika
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Vinegar
1 tablespoon Tomato paste
1 tablespoon Caraway seeds
½ teaspoon Marjoram
1 clove Garlic
2 quarts Water
3 mediums Potatoes; peeled and diced

Directions

Cut beef into ¾" cubes. Heat lard or fat in a 3 qt saucepan and saute onions until golden. Sprinkle with paprika and saute 1 min stirring constantly over low heat. Add beef and stir well until seared and browned. Add salt, pepper, vinegar and tomato paste. Simmer 3 min and then add caraway seeds, marjoram, garlic and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 min. Add potatoes and simmer another 20 min. Check seasoning and serve.

Variation: Shepherd's Soup- use much less paprika say a scant teaspoon, and sprinkle soup with croutons and dill when serving.
