Questions

What is Karnabahar Çorbası?

Can I make Karnabahar Çorbası gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Karnabahar Çorbası is 2 tbsp all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

Is Karnabahar Çorbası vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 1 cup whole milk. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan soup collection.

One serving (the recipe makes 4) has 18 g of carbohydrate in about 190 calories, with 6 g protein and 11 g fat, plus 4 g fiber and 680 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How long does Karnabahar Çorbası keep?

Refrigerate Karnabahar Çorbası for up to four days, or freeze it in portions for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it. If you plan to freeze it, stir the dairy in when reheating rather than before freezing; cream and milk split in the freezer.
