Şiveydiz

Şiveydiz is a traditional soup originating from Gaziantep. The soup is usually made with a combination of fresh green garlic, scallions, lamb, yogurt, chickpeas, butter, mint, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. The lamb and chickpeas are cooked in water, then mixed with the yogurt, onions, garlic, chili flakes, and seasonings. Once cooked, the soup is mixed with butter-sautéed mint and served. The soup is often prepared in April and May, and it's believed that it helps cure the common cold.
