Fry the goulash in hot oil (really hot). In the meantime, peel the onions and chop them into large pieces. Add the onions to the goulash and continue to fry well. Trim the leek and slice them into rings. Bring 2 liters of water to a boil with the stock cubes and cook the leek in it for 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste, diced bell peppers, and paprika powder to the goulash and sauté. Add the leek and stock to the goulash and cook thoroughly (30 minutes). Add the canned tomatoes to the soup and cook for another 30 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the soup. Finally, stir in the herb crème fraîche and season with salt and pepper. If the soup is too thin, I always thicken it with a little puree powder. You can also add 2-3 diced potatoes to the soup along with the leek.
