Kyufte-Shurpa
Traditional Azerbaijani Kyufte-Shurpa soup with meat kofta (meatballs), chickpeas, potatoes, and aromatic vegetables. The rich broth and sautéed ingredients create a profound and satisfying flavor.
This light and delicious vegetable soup is ideal for children. Meatballs made from cooked rice and cottage cheese with herbs and spices add a special appeal to the soup. Their meat-free origin often remains a secret!
Instructions
Cook rice in 250 ml of water over low heat for 20 minutes until done. Mix cooked rice, cottage cheese, breadcrumbs, and chopped herbs.
