Prepared with boned mutton and seasoning, this soup is one of the main soups of the Ottoman Palace Cuisine and is indispensable for crowded tables.

Wash the neck of the lamb in plenty of water and remove any excess fat. Take the oil in a pressure cooker and heat it. Seal the necks by sautéing them in oil.
Peel the onion, cut into 2 and add to the meat. Add bay leaves, black peppercorns and water and cook on medium setting for 30 minutes.
To season the soup, whisk the egg yolk, flour and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.
Take the meat that is cooked and softened and separated from its bones, strain it through a wire strainer and finely chop the soup with your hands.
Put the filtered broth in the pressure cooker and heat it, add the shredded lamb meat.
Bring the boiling broth to low heat. Warm up the seasoning by adding a ladle of this water to the seasoning little by little. While continuing to whisk, pour the warm seasoning like a string and add it to the soup little by little.
Cook the soup you have added in the dressing, without bubbling, over low heat for 3-4 more minutes, stirring, and remove from the fire. If you boil it too much, the egg dressing may be cut off.
Prepare the sauce when you will serve your thickened soup. For this, melt the butter in a sauce pan. Lightly burn the ground red pepper in oil. Decorate the soups you bought in bowls with this oil and serve hot. Bon Appetit!

Lamb Neck:
Lamb neck, with its bony and fatty structure, is rich in collagen. This enhances skin elasticity and supports joint health. Slow cooking methods (boiling, stewing) release bone marrow, which strengthens the immune system. It pairs perfectly with aromatic vegetables (celery, carrots) and spices (thyme, rosemary).
Egg Yolk:
Egg yolk is rich in protein, choline (critical for brain and liver health), vitamins D and A, and powerful antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin. It notably supports eye health, contributes to bone development, and strengthens cognitive functions. Its healthy fat content provides a sense of satiety. It's an excellent binder and flavor enhancer in savory sauces like béchamel, mayonnaise, and Hollandaise, as well as in sweet applications like pastry creams.
Flour:
Flour is a fundamental foodstuff obtained by grinding grains. It provides our body with a long-lasting energy source, especially through complex carbohydrates. Varieties like whole wheat flour, thanks to their high fiber content, support digestive health, provide a feeling of fullness, and help stabilize blood sugar levels. It also contains essential B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B9) and important minerals such as iron and magnesium, which are crucial for nervous system functions, energy production, and blood formation. It is versatile in the kitchen; forming the base for baked goods like bread and pastries when combined with milk, eggs, and yeast, while also being used to thicken sauces or create harmonious flavors with vegetables.
Dry Onion:
Dry onion is a kitchen staple and a powerful antioxidant source. Its quercetin content helps protect the body against free radicals, reduces inflammation, and may support heart health. Rich in Vitamins C and B6, and manganese, it strengthens the immune system. Its prebiotic fibers contribute to digestive health. It is widely used in dishes ranging from meat dishes to vegetable sautés, pilafs, and soups. It pairs perfectly with garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and red meat.
Bay Leaf:
Bay Leaf is a potent spice that can aid digestion, helping to reduce gas and bloating. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, it contributes to overall well-being. It's widely used in soups, stews, meat dishes, and legumes to add aromatic depth. It pairs exceptionally well with tomatoes, garlic, and thyme. While enhancing the dish's flavor, it leaves subtle bitter and woody notes.
Liquid Oil:
Liquid oils (sunflower, olive, etc.) are essential kitchen ingredients that add flavor to dishes and contain healthy unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. Ideal for frying, salad dressings, baking, and sautéing. They pair perfectly with vegetables, meats, legumes, and grains. They offer easy cooking.
Lemon Juice:
Lemon juice, rich in Vitamin C, boosts immunity and supports collagen synthesis for skin health. Its citrate content may help prevent kidney stone formation. A natural antioxidant, it reduces inflammation. It aids digestion by stimulating liver bile production. Added to water, it offers a detoxifying effect. Pairs perfectly with fish, chicken, salads, soups, marinades, and desserts, adding a refreshing and flavorful touch.
Butter:
Butter is a rich, flavorful fat derived from milk. It contains fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K2, along with healthy fatty acids, serving as an energy source. It's easily digestible. Butter enhances the taste of meals and rice dishes, is spread on bread, or used in sauces. It's indispensable for breakfast tables and various recipes.
