Head and trotter soup with lemon is a traditional Turkish soup made by slowly simmering a sheep’s or calf’s head and feet until the broth becomes rich and full-bodied. Lemon brings a bright, sharp note that balances the savoury flavour; garlic vinegar and chilli are also common table-side additions.
It is usually served piping hot at soup shops and lokantas, and is especially welcome in cold weather or as a substantial meal. The broth provides protein and collagen, while the soup is low in carbohydrates. Its richness can make it filling, so add lemon to taste and pair it with a light salad if you prefer a less heavy meal.
