Directions:

1. Heat oil in large saucepan on medium heat. Crumble in beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 5 to 8 min. until beef is browned. Drain and discard fat from saucepan. Stir onion, garlic and paprika into beef. Cook 5 min. until onion is softened. Stir in broth, tomatoes, potatoes and bay leaves; cover and bring to a simmer. Cook 8 to 10 min. until potatoes are softened (they do not need to be cooked through at this point).
