Supa Topcheta is a Bulgarian soup made with small meatballs and vegetables. Many versions include rice and finish with an egg-and-yogurt mixture, which gives the broth a gently creamy texture without making it a heavy cream soup.
Supa Topcheta comes from Bulgaria and is part of the country’s home-style soup tradition. Meatball soups are found across the Balkans, but this name refers to the Bulgarian preparation, whose ingredients and seasoning can vary from household to household.
Supa Topcheta usually contains small minced-meat balls, vegetables such as carrot and onion, and often rice. Some cooks finish the broth with egg and yogurt. Exact vegetables and seasonings vary, so there is no single fixed ingredient list.
No, Supa Topcheta and Romanian ciorbă de perișoare are related Balkan-style meatball soups, not the same dish. Romanian ciorbă is commonly soured, while Supa Topcheta is often milder and may be finished with an egg-and-yogurt mixture.
Supa Topcheta can have rice in the meatballs, the broth, or both, depending on the recipe. Rice in the meat mixture helps give the little balls their characteristic texture, while rice cooked in the soup makes the broth more substantial.
Egg and yogurt are stirred into some versions of Supa Topcheta to make the broth lightly creamy and tangy. Temper the mixture with a little hot broth before adding it to the pot, then keep the soup below a boil to reduce curdling.
Supa Topcheta works well with crusty bread and a simple salad. It can be served as a first course or as a light meal; a squeeze of lemon or fresh herbs at the table can brighten the broth.
Yes, you can make Supa Topcheta with ground chicken, although beef or a beef-and-pork mixture is more typical in many recipes. Chicken meatballs are leaner and can dry out if overcooked, so simmer them gently until just cooked through.
Supa Topcheta keeps for about 2–3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator when cooled and stored promptly. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, and warm an egg-and-yogurt-finished soup gently rather than letting it boil.
Yes, Supa Topcheta can be frozen, but its texture may change if it contains an egg-and-yogurt finish. For a smoother result, freeze the soup before adding that mixture, then stir in a freshly prepared finish after thawing and reheating.

Supa Topcheta, or Bulgarian meatball soup, is made with small meatballs simmered in a vegetable broth; some versions include rice. It is a home-style dish from Bulgaria, with recipes varying from kitchen to kitchen.
The meatballs are tender and the broth is mild and comforting. In Bulgaria it is served hot as a soup course or a light meal, often with bread; elsewhere, it fits easily into a simple lunch or supper. At 60 calories and 3.2 g of protein per 100 g, it is relatively light, while the meatballs add some protein and the vegetables contribute a little fibre. For a more filling meal, pair it with bread or a salad.
