Christa's Goulash

This is a combination recipe that Christa Back, long time friend with this group, and always there to give me help translating when I need it. Her Mom's recipe she made in her restaurant in Germany, plus the first time I ever had a real Goulash Soup, called Gulyáleves was at Novak's Hungarian restaurant in Albany, Oregon where I was born. This combination was outstanding. I added a few things to what Christa gave me for the recipe.

My mom used to make this in her Restaurant in Germany.
..it was more beef , onions and broth like...brown Soupy kind of thing, but it was spicy...the Hungarian Paprika was spicy...if you can't find Hungarian Paprika you could use red Pepper. Everyone loved that soup and you had to eat bread with it....my Dad worked with a Hungarian and he came and showed her how to make it.

At the restaurant I had it with potatoes, and it was the best comfort food,
The flavors of the paprika, the caraway made the beef broth heavenly.
I also even in a brothy soup add just a bit of flour to give the broth a little body,
It doesn't look at all like a gravy.
