made just as directed with the exception of coating the beef with the flour mixture before browning.

I got rave reviews for this recipe. Didn't change a thing except for throwing in some green beans. This is going to be a favorite winter soup.

This was good, hubby loved it-I was kind of luke warm. I followed recipe except for the tomato paste (didn't have any) and corn (don't care for it) I have other vegetable soups and beef stew recipes I prefer over this one- sorry.

WOW! I read ALOT of the reviews before making this soup and did as some others did....add the tomatoe paste a little at a time but ended up putting the whole can in! I love this soup because it was easy and turned out to be a GREAT SOUP! Thanks for sharing this recipe it will be made in my home again!

I made this exactly as written and it was awesome! My husband liked it so much that he had me make a second batch to freeze in individual containers to take to work for his lunches. Freezes very well.

I thought the paprika was out of place and would not add it if I made this again. I agree with the other reviewer that this soup was missing something.

This is very good. It taste like beef stew soup. After reading the reviews and some saying the tomato paste was too much I added it a Tablespoon at a time and used about half the can which was enough for my taste. The marjoram and paprika flavor is nice and while the meat was simmering I added 1/2 c. cabernet wine (dry red wine) which enhanced and brought together the flavors. It took a little longer for my meat to cook to tender. I felt no need to thicken this soup further as it is soup and not stew. Flavors developed more after allowing to rest. Delicious and great with a hunk of crusty bread.

I should have more carefully read the reviews for this before making it. I would have either cut WAY down on the tomato paste, or completely omitted it. I was really excited about this soup as I was making it and then when I added the tomato paste, it turned the nice beef broth into a very strong tomato broth. If you love a strong tomato flavor to your steak soup, then this is a great recipe for you. If i make this again, I will definitely omit the paste. Otherwise, this would be a wonderful recipe.

This soup is awesome. I cooked meat mixture (london broil) much longer than recipe states, since it was a rainy Saturday afternoon - 1.5 hours, and added more potatoes and carrots, but otherwise followed recipe. Great, hearty, rich soup.
