Brown the beef with onion until the onion is soft and the meat has color.

Pull the pot from direct heat and stir in paprika and caraway so the spice blooms without scorching.

Add water or broth, tomato, pepper, potatoes, and carrots and simmer until the beef is tender.

Drop in small pinched dumplings and cook until they float and soften.

Finish with parsley and serve hot with optional sour cream.
