Instructions

1. Lightly fry the beef cubes in lard, add onions and garlic, continue to cook. Stir in the diced paprika, simmer for another 2 minutes, then dust with the paprika powder, stir, add the sauerkraut and the potato cubes and top up with the broth, the tomato puree and the paprika pulp. Pepper and salt.
2. Cover and cook gently for about 15 minutes until the potato cubes are cooked through. Season to taste with sugar and cream, add seasoning if necessary. Fish out the cumin sack.
3. Warm the sausage slices in the soup and serve with an extra dollop of sour cream.
4. It is important that the soup does not cook too long, not like widow Bolte. Sure, you can warm them up, but be careful, everything should still be crisp.
5. I like the soup better without sausage, my husband better with it.
