This was one of my favorite soups from when I visited Slovakia! It's a hearty beef and potato stew cooked with paprika, garlic and tomato paste. Great in the winter and awesome with rye bread or bread rolls.

Background: Goulash originates in Hungary but is eaten in Slovakia and Czech too. I deciphered and adapted this recipe from a traditional Slovakian cook I got while in Slovakia.
