Güllüklü soup is made with small meatballs and yogurt. Depending on the household recipe, it may also include ingredients such as rice, chickpeas and seasonings; the meatballs and yogurt give it its familiar character.
Güllüklü soup is prepared by cooking small meatballs and stirring in a yogurt-based mixture. To keep the yogurt smooth, temper it gradually with warm soup broth before adding it to the pot.
Güllüklü soup comes from Gaziantep, a city in southeastern Turkey known for its regional cooking. The traditional soup combines meatballs with yogurt, though recipes can differ from one cook or household to another.
Temper the yogurt before adding it to Güllüklü soup. Whisk in warm broth a little at a time, then pour the mixture into the pot while stirring; adding cold yogurt straight to boiling soup can make it split.
Not necessarily. Güllüklü soup is a specific Gaziantep-style yogurt and meatball soup, while other Turkish yogurt meatball soups can use different grains, seasonings and preparation methods.
Güllüklü soup can be served on its own as a light meal or as a first course. Bread and a fresh salad make simple accompaniments, while a vegetable side can round out a larger meal.
Yes, but leaving out the meatballs makes it different from the traditional version. If you want a meat-free variation, add chickpeas or another filling ingredient, while keeping in mind that the result will have a different texture and taste.
Keep Güllüklü soup covered in the refrigerator and use it within a few days. Yogurt-based soups can change in smell, appearance or texture as they sit, so discard it if you notice signs of spoilage.
Yes, but the yogurt may separate or become grainy after thawing. For a smoother result, freeze the soup base before adding the yogurt mixture, then thaw, reheat and stir in freshly prepared yogurt tempering.
Güllüklü soup is served hot. Reheat it gently and stir it often rather than letting it boil hard, since vigorous boiling can affect the texture of its yogurt-based broth.

Güllüklü soup is a traditional Gaziantep dish made with yogurt and small meatballs. Its flavour is gently tangy and savoury, while the tender meatballs add a soft, hearty bite. Recipes can vary from one home to another, especially in seasoning and consistency.
In Turkey, it is usually served hot as a starter at lunch or dinner, though a generous bowl with bread can make a simple meal. Add the yogurt gradually and stir it in gently while cooking to help keep the soup smooth. With 4.2 g of protein per 100 g, it offers some nourishment without feeling especially heavy; pair it with a fresh salad for a lighter meal.
