TURKISH BRIDE SOUP
This recipe comes with a bit of history. It is said to have been created by an astonishing Turkish beauty Ezo who was unlucky in love and marriage. The legend says that she died in 1952 from tuberculosis, only 43 years old, after having endured 2 marriages of which the first was terrible. She supposedly created this soup for her 2nd Mother In Law who was impossible to please. To this day this soup is served at Turkish weddings - to please the MIL up front, my guess :P
