Instructions: Heat the butter in a large, heavy pot and saute the onion until tender but not brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef and stir until the meat is lightly browned. Add the remaining ingredients except the potatoes and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer covered for 1 hour. Add the potatoes and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

Serves 4

This hearty soup is often served as a midnight snack in Bavaria.

For best results, let it mellow in the refrigerator overnight before reheating and serving.
