Red Kubeh Soup

Recipe: YNET (Hebrew)
Prep time: 3 hours (2 people)
Servings: 15+
Rating: 4 (out of 5)

Kubeh is a traditional Iraqi dish consisting of meat-filled dumplings in a vegetable stew. It is quite popular in Israel - a bowl of kubeh soup can be an entire meal! I'm partial to the red pumpkin/vegetable soup, although kubeh comes in a few varieties: beets, chickpeas, and okra.

There are 3 stages: the dough, the meat filling, and the soup. Here are a few pictures to document our adventure!

Meat cooking

Rolling kubeh

Dinner's ready!

YUM

Upshot: The soup was a little watery - the recipe never specified how much water to add, and we were afraid of the kubeh colliding and sticking to one another. Also, the recipe seemed to lack something: either the left-out celery leaves, or parsley, tomatoes or cumin. This recipe might be a good second try.
