Wash the evelik greens or dock leaves, remove the stems, and finely chop the leaves.
Cut the potato into small cubes and dice the onion.
Saute the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes, until translucent.
Add the tomato paste and pepper paste and stir for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the potato and water to the pot and boil for 10 minutes, until the potato softens slightly.
Add the evelik greens, bulgur, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt.
Cook the soup for 16 minutes, until the bulgur opens and the leaves soften.
Rest covered for 5 minutes and serve hot.
💡 Tip: You can use sorrel-like dock leaves in place of evelik; if the leaves are thick, blanch them for 3 minutes so the soup does not feel fibrous.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Drizzle with red pepper flakes warmed in olive oil and serve hot with cornbread or village bread.
