Goulash soup

In a large saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in a little heated oil until soft.
Lightly season the meat cubes with salt and pepper and brown in the oil. Add the paprika and cumin and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
Add the tomato paste and stock cubes, dissolved in 2 litres boiling water.
Reduce heat and simmer for about an hour or until the meat is tender. Blend the cake flour with a little water to form a paste. Add it to the soup and heat while stirring continuously until the mixture comes to the boil and thickens slightly.
Add the cream and sugar, season with salt and black pepper and heat through.
Sprinkle with a little chopped parsley just before serving.
Serve with fresh bread rolls.
