Description
Turkish soup (çorba) is served at the beginning of every formal meal and at midnight after a wedding — it is both daily sustenance and ceremonial preparation. The Turkish çorba tradition encompasses lentil (mercimek çorbası), yogurt (yayla çorbası), wheat (ezo gelin), tripe (işkembe), and dozens of regional preparations. The unifying technique: most Turkish çorba are finished with a terbiye (an egg-lemon or egg-flour liaison) that simultaneously thickens and brightens the broth, or with a red pepper butter swirled at service.
