Soups/Stews
For those days when you’re craving warm and creamy comfort food, soups, and stews really answer the call! Many people seem to think that the recipes in this category can only be consumed in the Fall or Winter. Well, I’m here to debunk that theory. As a matter of fact, Assyrians consume soups and stews throughout the entire year. And guess what, they have been doing so for thousands of years! Even in the dessert!
Some of the most popular Assyrian recipes in this category include Chipteh (Meatball soup), Masheh (Bean Stew), Kubba Hamouth (Meat-Filled Dumpling Soup), and Bamya (Okra Stew). Favorite non-Assyrian recipes include Chile Verde, Filipino Pork Adobo, and Spicy Bison Chili.

Meatball Soup (Assyrian Soup/Chipteh)
Sometimes I share recipes that are a little too “ethnic” for the average person. Or perhaps, they have ingredients that are not easy to come by. Luckily, this isn’t one of those recipes.
Okra Stew with Lamb or Beef (Bamya)
Of all the Assyrian stews, and there are many, okra stew is my favorite. Known as “Ladies’ fingers,” okra is the edible seed pod of the flowering okra plant. Assyrians call okra, “bomya” or “bamiyeh.”
