Wash, clean and chop the peppers. Peel the onion and garlic and mince them both finely. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a saucepan. Sauté the onion and garlic in it until translucent. Then add the peppers and sauté briefly. Add two tablespoons of ajvar and oregano and deglaze with the broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the meatballs. To do this, knead the minced meat with a spoonful of Ajvar, salt, pepper and nutmeg and form balls from the mixture. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a pan and fry the balls on all sides for about five minutes. Then drain the balls on kitchen paper.

Add 200 grams of sour cream to the soup and puree it finely. Season again with salt, pepper, paprika and sugar. Pour the soup into plates and serve with balls. Serve with remaining sour cream and ajvar.
