After cold soups with yoghurt, we welcome soups with plenty of meat in which yoghurt is heated. It has to be said that although it is a local soup, it is not a practical soup and it takes at least an hour to make it, doing justice to the recipe. But it's worth every second, rest assured.

The dishes that Gaziantep cuisine has contributed to our culture are countless. In fact, in case there are people who plan to go to Gaziantep in the near future, we leave our article about Gaziantep places and food here.

Let's talk about our soup. We can define it as a bowl of happiness, where plenty of meat, chickpeas and tiny meatballs meet with yoghurt, and melted butter, chili peppers and mint are added.

Thank you, Gaziantep, for this delicious recipe.
