About the dish

Kelle paça çorbası is a traditional soup made with offal as the key ingredient. Sheep's or goat's head are placed into a pot with water, onions, and salt, and the soup is then slowly cooked until the meat falls off the bones. Some people like to add a roux of butter and flour to the soup, followed by a beaten egg, garlic, and lemon juice. Lamb neck, tongue, and brain can also be included in the soup. It's recommended to serve the soup with greens and lots of crusty bread on the side.
