Dovga

Dovga (Dovğа) is an Azerbaijani soup made from plain yoghurt and herbs. Traditionally, it is served as a wedding soup and is introduced between courses of meat, intended to boost digestion.

Dovga is a soup that is cooked with a variety of herbs. While its ingredients can vary seasonally and regionally, the soup usually includes coriander, dill, mint, and spinach. The soup is sometimes cooked with rice, chickpeas, and meatballs. It is often served warm in winter or chilled in summer.

One variation of dovga is abdug, popular in Iran. Abdug does not include rice and is served with ice in the summer.
