Fry the pepper paste in 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Add half a cup fine bulgur and stir with the peppery butter for 1 minute.
Add 1 liter hot water and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
Add the chopped pepper during the last 5 minutes so its color and firmness are not lost.
Squeeze in the lemon juice after turning off the heat and serve the soup hot.
💡 Tip: Briefly frying the pepper paste in butter quickly rounds off the raw taste of the soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with lemon on the side.
