Citizens, the proud country of Bulgaria is home to any number of delicious recipes, several of which are already here in the TFG archives – and there are any number of fantastic soup and salad recipes to be found in the encyclopædia of Bulgarian cuisine!

This recipe – supa topcheta – is very popular in Bulgaria. It’s a classic cooked at almost every Bulgarian home and is in fact a school canteen staple.

Supa Topcheta, or Bulgarian Meatball Soup, is a favorite traditional dish and truly represents comfort food at its best. The hearty soup is filled with vegetables and meatballs made with a combination of pork and beef.

Then it’s thickened with egg yolks and yogurt spiked with fresh lemon juice. The resulting soup is creamy without being overly heavy. Served with extra yogurt and lemon on the side, and of course a loaf of crusty bread, it’s a tangy and delicious meal in and of itself!

I hope you will see fit to add this recipe to your repertoire, !

        Supa kyufteta! Na бългериян супа кифтета! Липсва само малко каперси, да не се прекалява с босилека, а вместо копър може да се украси с рукула. За второ боб с филе от сьомга!

    Апетитно изглежда. Това бялото в чинията сметана ли е или майонеза?

      Не, но със съотвртна застройка (запръжка?) и фиде вместо ориз – по рецептата на Пенка Чолчева! (y)

      Стандартната е с малко ориз вътре в топчетата и два картофа, ситно нарязани, морков, лук, чушка, един домат, магданоз в супата и черен пипер и сух джоджан в каймата за топчетата, и разбира се червен пипер, без застройка!
