Trick Kibbeh

Description
The "trick" in this Syrian-Lebanese vegetable soup is that there's no meat in the kibbeh "meatballs". The idea that a vegetarian dish is a deception (vegetarian dolmas are known as yalanji, the Turkish word for "counterfeit") goes back at least 1,200 years in the near east.
