Elvan Girl Soup

TÜRKÇE İÇİN TIKLAYIN

This is a very tasty soup, called as Elvan Kiz Corbasi in Turkish. It is a little spicy and hot. You can reduce or exclude the pepper if you don't like it hot.
I also noted down the exact weight in grams for the ingredients to be precise. Obviously it’s not like some bakery recipes where the precision may be very important. It's just indicative to show the exact amounts I used. I hope you like it
