Bottled sweet roasted peppers are handy, but the taste and quality varies greatly. We recommend Guiliano brand (water packed) sweet red peppers for this Hungarian style soup.
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
- 2 frozen Boca Burgers (Original Vegan)
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil (divided use)
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
