Add meat and brown lightly.

Sprinkle with paprika and caraway seeds, and add 2 cups stock.  Mix
thoroughly.  Add garlic, green pepper and tomatoes and bring to simmer.

Simmer until potatoes are done.  Remove soup from heat and let it stand.

Remove garlic and skim fat.  Stir in the pinched noodles, bring soup back to
a simmer and serve.
