What is Chicken Soup?
Hindi çorbası is a Turkish-style soup made with tender turkey in a clear broth, often with vegetables, herbs and small noodles. Although it may resemble chicken soup, hindi means turkey in Turkish, so this version is made with turkey rather than chicken. It is the sort of comforting, home-cooked soup served hot as a starter or a light meal.
The broth is savoury and mild, with soft shreds of meat, vegetables and noodles adding texture. A squeeze of lemon, black pepper and bread alongside are natural accompaniments. It offers some protein while remaining fairly light; the noodles contribute most of its starchy element. For a lighter bowl, use a modest amount of oil and add extra vegetables instead of more noodles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chicken Soup
What is Hindi çorbası, and is it the same as chicken soup?
Hindi çorbası is Turkish for turkey soup, not chicken soup; the English name on this page is therefore misleading. It is made with turkey meat and broth, often with vegetables and small pasta or rice.
How do you make Hindi çorbası?
Hindi çorbası is made by simmering turkey with vegetables and seasonings until tender, then shredding the meat. Cook noodles or rice in the broth and return the turkey to the pot near the end so it stays moist.
Which turkey meat is best for Hindi çorbası?
Bone-in turkey thighs or drumsticks work especially well for Hindi çorbası because they give the broth a rich flavor. Turkey breast is leaner and also works; remove bones and shred the cooked meat before serving.
Should Hindi çorbası have noodles or rice?
Hindi çorbası can be made with either noodles or rice; both are common ways to make the broth more substantial. Add your choice after the turkey broth is ready and cook just until tender to avoid a mushy texture.
Why is my Hindi çorbası broth cloudy?
Hindi çorbası broth can turn cloudy if it boils vigorously or if foam from the turkey is left in the pot. Simmer it gently and skim off foam as it forms for a clearer broth.
How do you keep noodles from getting mushy in Hindi çorbası?
Cook noodles separately or add them shortly before serving Hindi çorbası. They continue absorbing broth as the soup sits, so storing noodles apart from the turkey broth helps preserve their texture in leftovers.
How long does Hindi çorbası keep in the fridge?
Hindi çorbası keeps for a few days when promptly refrigerated in a covered container. Cool and store it soon after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until it is steaming hot throughout.
Can you freeze Hindi çorbası?
Yes, Hindi çorbası freezes well, although noodles and rice can become soft after thawing. For the best texture, freeze the turkey and broth without the noodles, then cook and add them when reheating.
What should you serve with Hindi çorbası?
Crusty bread, a simple salad, or a squeeze of lemon are good accompaniments to Hindi çorbası. If the soup already contains rice or noodles, a lighter side keeps the meal from feeling too heavy.
Does Hindi çorbası help when you have a cold?
Hindi çorbası does not cure a cold, but its warm broth can feel soothing and help you take in fluids. The turkey adds protein, making it a comforting option when a hot meal is easier to manage.
