Dice the onion small and soften it in butter for 4 minutes.
Add the ground beef and fry for 5 minutes, until its color changes.
Add the tomato paste and ground red pepper, and turn for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the water, salt, and black pepper to the pot, and add the fine bulgur once it boils.
Cook the soup over medium-low heat for 12 minutes, until the bulgur opens up.
If the texture is thick, loosen it with 0.5 cup hot water and boil for 2 more minutes.
Serve dugurcuk soup hot with lemon wedges.
💡 Tip: After adding the dugurcuk, stir from time to time; fine bulgur that catches on the bottom makes the soup smell heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the soup hot with lemon wedges and optional dried mint; thick yogurt on the side fits well.
