Turkish Meatball Soup

My grandmother came from Northern Cyprus, and she used to make this awesome soup which she called "terbiyeli corbasi". I unfortunately never got her recipe before she died but this is the closest thing to it I managed to come up with. It's kind of like Greek avogolemono with meatballs in it. Show more
