Yüksük Soup(Yüksük Çorbası)
regional
A labor-intensive soup where tiny dumplings combine with chickpeas and sour water; it gets its name from the dough shaped like a thimble.
The smaller the dough, the better; chickpeas are cooked beforehand.

Shortcuts worth knowing
How to order
The same dish changes name from city to city. Asking about an unfamiliar name is the shortest route.
Pick the good one
In an egg-lemon soup the lemon goes in last. Boiled after that, the mixture splits and turns grainy.
Right time
Tripe and head soups belong to the morning counter; late in the day you get the reheated pot.
