A couple of special touches turns this easy meat-and-potatoes (and carrots) soup into a memorable dish. Lots of sliced leeks lend a savoury background note and become silky after simmering. Paprika is the main spice and can take the soup into whatever direction you prefer: Use regular paprika for a mild soup, hot Hungarian paprika for a spicy dish, or smoked paprika for woodsy essence.

Instructions
1
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Add the beef, salt, paprika, and ½ tsp black pepper; cook until the beef is browned, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently to crumble. Stir in the beef stock, leeks, potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and remaining ¼ tsp black pepper.
