Boil the quail eggs for 4 minutes, peel them, and set aside.
Dice the onion small and soften it in butter for 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and fry for 1 minute until its raw smell fades.
Add the corn kernels, cooked dried beans, coarse bulgur, water, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Boil the soup for 22 minutes, until the bulgur softens.
Mix the cornstarch with a little cold water, add it to the soup, and thicken for 3 minutes.
Add the quail eggs, warm for 2 minutes, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Do not pour the starch straight into the pot; mixing it with cold water first prevents lumps in the soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the soup hot with black pepper and butter warmed with red pepper flakes.
