Finely chop 1 onion and 2 peppers, then saute them in 1 tablespoon oil for 6 minutes.
Add 1 dessert spoon sweet paprika and stir for 30 seconds so the spice does not burn.
Add 4 cups hot water and the diced potato, then cook for 15 minutes.
Temper the sour cream with a ladleful of hot soup and stir it slowly into the pot.
Heat the soup over low heat for 3 minutes and serve without bringing it to a boil.
Sprinkle fresh parsley on top so the sour cream aroma stays in the hot bowl.
💡 Tip: Adding the sour cream at the very end gives a silky result without curdling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Ladle the tejfolos pepper soup into a warm bowl and drizzle the sour cream without blending it fully into the paprika color.
