Soups

A Turkish meal usually starts with a thin soup (çorba). Soups are usually named after their main ingredient, the most common types being lentil, yoghurt, or wheat (often mashed) called mercimek çorbası and tarhana çorbası. Delicacy soups are the ones that are usually not the part of the daily diet, like (shkembe) İşkembe soup and paça çorbası, although the latter also used to be consumed as a nutritious winter meal. Before the popularisation of the typical Turkish breakfast, soup was the default morning meal for some people. The most common soups in Turkish cuisine are;

* Tarhana
* Yayla
* Buğday aşı/Yoghurt soup/Ayran soup (which can be served hot or cold)
* Domates (Tomato soup)
* Mercimek (Lentil soup)
* Ezogelin
* Düğün (Wedding soup)
* İşkembe
* Paça
* Şehriye
* Fish
* Bademli Tavuk (Chicken soup with almond)
* Mahluta
* Yüksük
* Tutmaç (Lentil dish with noodles)
* Cabbage Soup (With lamb)
