Separately, dissolve the fat over heat and sprinkle with the flour. We remove it for a while until it is golden. Then we cover it with cold water, cook for about five minutes, pour into the soft cabbage and cook for about ten minutes.
In a frying pan, fry the onion cut into small pieces in oil, add ground paprika and pour into the soup. Cook for a while longer and at the end season the soup with sweet cream.
