Make
-
Heat a large saucepan (use one with a lid) with cooking oil over medium heat. Add beef, shallots, and garlic and saute, breaking the beef apart until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain off any excess fat, if needed.
-
Stir paprika, salt, and black pepper into beef until no dry spots remain.
-
Pour stock and tomatoes (including liquid) over beef and bring to a simmer. Stir in bell peppers and zucchini.
-
Cover soup and reduce to a low simmer. Simmer until zucchini and bell peppers are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Taste soup and season with some more salt and pepper, if needed. Stir in some hot sauce if you'd like it spicy.
-
Toss lettuce, tomatoes, and onions in vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.
-
Serve soup with salad on the side. Enjoy!
