Azerbaijani Soups

Soups are mostly served in traditional households. In urban areas, soups are less common, although you will always find them in restaurants. Here are some popular soups that you can expect to find in Azerbaijan: Dograma - a cold soup made with sour milk, potato, onion and cucumber, a lot like Russian okroshka. Piti - a soupy stew of mutton, fat, chick peas and saffron, cooked and served in in­dividual earthenware pots. Spoon it out into your bowl, and mop up the juices with plenty of bread. Dovga - a hot, thick soup of yogurt, rice, spinach and fennel.
