Cut goulash into smaller cubes (approx. 1.5 cm large cubes). Peel the vegetable onion and cut into large cubes. Heat the oil in a large roasting pan or pot and fry the meat in three portions. Finally add onions, also fry them well and dust with flour. Sauté briefly, season with salt, sweet paprika and cayenne pepper and add 2 1/2 litres of water and red wine.
Add chunky tomatoes, beef stock and thyme, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours. In the meantime clean, wash and cut the peppers into fine strips. After 30 minutes add them to the goulash soup and bring to the boil. Stir the crème fraîche into the finished soup and season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper
