Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef Note 1
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 red chili pepper more or less to taste
  • 2 bell peppers red and yellow for instance
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 5 cups beef broth 1.2 liter, Note 2
  • 1 lb pureed tomatoes not paste or sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 can corn drained
  • 1 can sliced mushrooms drained
  • fine sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup grated cheese 100 g, Note 3

Instructions

  • Cook beef: Heat the oil in a large thick-bottomed pot. Add the meat and fry until brown, stirring from time to time and breaking all the lumps.
  • Cook onions and garlic: While the meat cooks, peel and halve the onions and cut the halves into fine slices. Chop the garlic and the chili very finely. Add them to the browned meat, stir well and let cook until you chop the peppers. Add them to the pot as well and keep cooking for a few more minutes.
  • Cook soup: Sprinkle the flour and the paprika on top, stir well and cook for 2 minutes while stirring. Add the paprika paste, stir well, then add the broth, tomato puree, red wine vinegar, dried herbs, sugar. Stir well and add some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and let cook slowly for about 20 minutes.
  • Add the drained corn and mushrooms and continue cooking for another 20 minutes. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper and, if necessary, with a little bit more red wine vinegar or sugar. It should taste sweet-sour. Stir in about half of the grated cheese.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and serve.

Notes

  1. Or a mixture of pork and beef. Ground turkey is great as well.
  2. Beef bone broth or chicken stock is fine as well.
  3. Gouda, Cheddar or any other cheese you like for topping pizza.
