Instructions

Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté onions until softened, then add beef and brown evenly. Stir in caraway seeds, marjoram, minced garlic, and sweet paprika. Pour water over all ingredients, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 2 1/2 hours.
Add potatoes and continue to cook until tender, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour more. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking, then serve hot.
