1) Prepare the soy:
Bring 1 liter of vegetable soup to a boil with sweet paprika powder, 2 bay leaves, salt, pepper, thyme, and marjoram. Add the dry soybeans, remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let soften for 10 minutes. Strain, remove the bay leaves, and set aside for later.

2) Prepare the vegetables:
Wash, peel, and roughly chop the carrots and celery. Clean the mushrooms and chop them into large pieces. Peel the onion and garlic, roughly chop one onion, and finely chop the second onion. 

3) For the patties:
Mix breadcrumbs with paprika powder (smoked) and water, set aside for later. Fry the finely chopped onion in a little oil until light brown, set aside.

4) Prepare the sauce:
Sauté the coarsely chopped onion in oil. Add the carrots, celery, and mushrooms and sauté until nicely browned. Add the tomato paste, mustard, soy sauce, and 2 cloves of garlic. Season with salt, pepper, marjoram, and thyme, and sauté briefly. Pour in 1.5 liters of broth, add the bay leaf, and simmer for 20 minutes. Then strain the vegetables (do not throw them away!) and collect the sauce. Remove the bay leaf, purée half of the cooked vegetables with the sauce, and purée the other half separately with a ladleful of sauce.

5) Prepare the patty mixture: Lightly squeeze the cooled soy mixture and place in a bowl. Add the previously sautéed onion and puréed vegetables to the soy mixture. Press 2 garlic cloves and add to the mixture. Add the breadcrumb paste, cornstarch, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, thyme, marjoram, and basil to the mixture and mix everything well. Let the mixture rest for about 20 minutes, adding potato flakes or flour if necessary.

6) Finish the sauce:
Bring the sauce to a boil with butter and thicken with 2–3 tablespoons of cornstarch + water as needed. Optionally, add up to 0.5 L of water. Season to taste and, if available, season with liquid smoke.

7) Shape patties and fry:
Form about 15 patties from the mixture. Roll them in breadcrumbs. Fry them in oil on both sides until they are golden brown.
