Where do I start? The soup is simply fantastic and I’m in awe of the incredible effort to make these small dumplings! Thimble soup is indeed a delicious labor of love.

I’ve really enjoyed reading about the customs of courtship and weddings in Turkey; there is such a deep sense not only of family but of the whole community! It’s a wonder that people would want to leave their home villages with such support.

And finally, your father is so lucky – he always gets to enjoy these lovely dishes in the videos! 8-D

Cate- Thank you for visiting my blog. Teamwork is a must for this soup. You understand what I mean if you watch the video. But it’s definitely worth.

Erica- I’m sure I’ll learn a lot about your traditions from you. This is what I love about blogging, we meet and learn more cultures through it.

Elra- It was mom rolling the dough in the video. Did I tell that she is a wonderful cook before? I was the assistant of her to close those tiny squares. There must be teamwork for this special soup, otherwise it takes forever as you say. Happy to hear that you love the video. Yes, it is dad enjoying the soup. Believe or not, he and my hubby helped us as well to finish making the soup.

Zerrin, I am becoming more and more loving your cooking. WOW, it’s amazing to watch you to make the dough and the way how you roll them is very very unusual. I don’t even think I can do that. Those squares are so tiny, it’ll take forever, but it’s a worth the effort. Definitely making this, and love the ending. Is he your dad?

all that goes into this soup-the time, the teamwork, the love (the dancing) that must pour into it-well, it makes me wish that i could taste it. somehow, i’m not sure that it would taste the same without a few friends coming over to help make it. i will keep this recipe in my back pocket until the fall comes and invite a few friends to come over and help me make it.

thank you, zerrin. i cannot wait to look around your blog a bit more. (and thank you for dropping by mine to read about the fabulous vanessa).

Jenn- Absolutely agree on the history of foods. I have a big curiosity on how they came out first.

Natasha- Thanks for that info about Hindu weddings. I know that they love dancing a lot, but didn’t know about their wedding foods.

Rowena- It was so wonderful that I wanted to have one more bowl just after finishing the first one. I strongly recommend you to come visit Istanbul, the most wonderful city I’ve seen. You can check my post I wrote on Istanbul about a month ago. Fall is one of the best seasons to visit there. If you come in September, it’s neither cold nor hot, a wonderful weather. But if you go there in October or November, it gets cool, so you should bring some thick clothes. Hope you come and enjoy
