Treat your ingredients with care...
- Lamb — For a more tender and flavorful soup, choose boneless lamb cuts such as shoulder or leg. Trim any excess fat before cooking.
- Tomato paste — Use a good quality tomato paste to enhance the richness of the soup. Look for one that is concentrated and has a deep red color.
Tips & Tricks
- To add an extra layer of flavor, you can marinate the lamb in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and spices for a few hours before cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier soup, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped chili pepper to the pot.
- For a thicker consistency, you can add a tablespoon of flour to the sautéed onions and garlic before adding the lamb.
Serving advice
Beyran Soup is best served hot. Accompany it with a side of crusty bread or Turkish flatbread for a complete and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
When serving Beyran Soup, garnish each bowl with a sprig of fresh parsley or cilantro. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
