Meat yuvalama soup is a traditional Turkish soup, especially associated with Gaziantep, made with tiny rice-and-meat dumplings, chickpeas, and meat broth. Many versions finish the soup with a yogurt-based mixture.
Meat yuvalama soup is made by shaping finely ground meat and rice into very small dumplings, then cooking them with chickpeas in meat broth. For a yogurt-finished version, temper the yogurt mixture with warm broth before stirring it into the pot.
Meat yuvalama soup comes from southeastern Turkey and is particularly associated with Gaziantep. It is often prepared for festive meals, and the careful work of shaping its many tiny dumplings is part of its regional tradition.
Meat yuvalama soup usually contains meat broth, chickpeas, and small dumplings made with minced meat and rice. Some recipes add a yogurt-based finish and dried mint or butter, while exact ingredients vary between households.
Meat yuvalama soup is distinguished by its numerous tiny rice-and-meat dumplings. Leben iye is another southeastern Turkish yogurt soup that may include chickpeas and meatballs, but its dumpling style and local recipe details can differ.
The dumplings in meat yuvalama soup can fall apart if the mixture is not worked until cohesive or if the broth boils too vigorously. Shape them firmly and cook the soup at a gentle simmer rather than a hard boil.
To keep yogurt from curdling in meat yuvalama soup, bring it gradually closer to the soup’s temperature before adding it. Whisk warm broth into the yogurt mixture a little at a time, then stir it slowly into the pot.
Meat yuvalama soup is served hot, often with a mint-and-butter topping when made in the yogurt-based style. It can be part of a larger Turkish meal; bread or a simple salad makes an easy accompaniment.
Meat yuvalama soup keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool it promptly after cooking, and reheat it gently; yogurt-finished soup is less likely to separate if you avoid a rolling boil.
Yes, meat yuvalama soup can be frozen, though its yogurt finish may separate or turn grainy after thawing. For better texture, freeze the soup before adding yogurt, then thaw, reheat, and stir in freshly prepared yogurt mixture.

Meat yuvalama soup is a traditional dish associated especially with Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey. It brings together tiny dumplings, usually made with rice and minced meat, in a meat broth; chickpeas are common, and some versions are finished with a yoghurt-based sauce while others are served without it.
The broth makes the soup savoury and warming, while the little dumplings are tender and the chickpeas add a firmer bite. In Turkey it is served hot as a substantial first course or a meal in its own right, often with a squeeze of lemon or dried mint. Meat and legumes give it a filling, protein-containing character. For a lighter meal, serve a modest bowl with a fresh salad.
