Lebeniye Soup Recipe

Lebeniye soup is one of the first things that comes to mind when talking about Gaziantep cuisine. Gaziantep is a city take part in the south east part of Turkey. It is one of the gastronomic capitals of Turkey. It's the home town of Turkish baklava for example. Actually it's alone richer than most of the countries in the world by means of food. If you are dreaming of a gastronomic journey to Turkey one of the spots you should visit is gaziantep. But keep in mind that you should stop eating 1 week before you travel to Gaziantep. Don't worry you can cover it in just one day.

If we turn back to lebeniye... It is a both filling and nutritious and very tasty soup. Because it takes some time to prepare the meatballs, it takes longer to prepare it than many soups. But if you prepare it as a main course rather than soup, it will take less time than many main courses.

One of the main ingredients of the recipe after meatballs is boiled chickpeas. Chickpea is a widely used ingredient in Turkish cuisine. But you know, it takes a long time to cook it. Therefore, to avoid wasting time, you can boil the chickpeas beforehand and store them in the freezer. You can also use canned chickpeas, but they are generally overcooked and when added to watery food like soups and cooked a little bit more, they are broken. So if you spend time in the kitchen and cook frequently, instead of using canned chşckpeas you can just boil and freeze them yourself.

You can also prepare the meatballs in advance and freeze them for lebeniye soup.
