Analı kızlı soup

Analı kızlı soup is a traditional Turkish soup that is made with little dough balls and meatballs in a delicious broth. In Turkish, "analı" means mother and "kızlı" means daughter. So, this soup is named after the little dough balls and the meatballs which are like the mother and daughter, respectively.

To make the soup, you first make the dough balls by mixing flour, water, and salt. Then, you form little balls with your hands and set them aside. Next, you make the meatballs by mixing ground meat with spices like cumin and paprika. You shape the mixture into little balls, too.

Then, you start making the soup by boiling water in a pot. You add in some chopped onions, garlic, and tomato paste to the water for flavor. After the mixture has simmered for a bit, you add in the meatballs and let them cook. After the meatballs have cooked, you add in the dough balls and let them cook until they are soft and fluffy.

Finally, you serve the soup hot and enjoy it with some fresh bread. It's a delicious and comforting meal that will warm your heart and your belly.
