Directions

  1. The beef is cut into cubes approximately 2 cm in size (smaller than those used for a stew) and seared. ≈ 3 min
  2. The goal is to achieve a light, brown crust. ≈ 3 min
  3. Next, 1/4 of the meat and the onions, cut into very small pieces, are cooked separately. ≈ 3 min
  4. Onions are used to clean the pan.
  5. Finally, the finely chopped vegetables are also sautéed, with the parsley being set aside, which can be added to the soup. ≈ 3 min
  6. Everything is added to a large pot filled with water, along with bread, paprika, and garlic. ≈ 3 min
  7. The mixture is then cooked over low heat for an hour.
  8. Next, the meat is removed, the soup is blended, and then it is filtered through a fine sieve. ≈ 3 min
  9. The thickening of the soup is achieved solely through the use of paprika, bread, and onions.
  10. No flour or other ingredients are used. ≈ 3 min
  11. The meat is then added to the soup, along with the diced peppers and lemon zest. ≈ 3 min
