Quail soup with bulgur
6 servings
90 minutes
Quail soup with bulgur is a refined dish of Turkish cuisine that combines the tenderness of quail meat with the richness of Eastern spices. Its roots trace back to the traditions of Turkish villages where dishes were prepared with care for flavor and nutrition balance. The aromatic broth, cooked with bay leaves and allspice, fills the kitchen with warmth and coziness. Bulgur adds thickness and richness to the soup, while carrots and turmeric bring sunny flavor notes. The main highlight is the quail eggs served halved in each portion, adding extra softness to the dish. This soup not only warms but also restores strength; it is often made on cool evenings or after a long day when one wants to enjoy something special.
