Dice 250 g beef and chop 1 onion for cooking.
Cook the meat and onion over medium heat for 8 minutes, until the meat releases its juices and tightens slightly.
Add 200 ml tomato puree and boil for 4 minutes so no raw tomato taste remains.
Add 4 cups hot water and cook over low heat for 35 minutes.
Add 120 g cornichon pickles and 80 g olives and boil for 5 minutes.
Check the salt, ladle into hot bowls, and serve immediately so the pickle flavor stays bright.
💡 Tip: Adding the pickles at the end preserves their sharpness; if added at the start, the soup becomes heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve topped with a lemon slice and sour cream.
