Beef Goulash Soup

---

A delicious hearty soup best served as a main meal with crusty bread, this is even better the next day! -- for a lighter beef flavor use 3 cups beef broth and 2 cups water, i have listed the chili flakes as optional so you may omit if desired or adjust to suit heat level, my family likes extreme heat so i use a scant tablespoonful :)
