Ezo Gelin çorbası / Bride`s Soup

A girl named Yezo lived in the early 20th century in the city of Anatolia in Turkey. She was famous for her beauty. Yezo's parents, without her consent, married the girl to a young man who was in love with another woman. After a year of marriage without love, the girl returned home. After several years, Yezo remarried a distant relative who lived in Syria. The girl did not have a relationship with her mother-in-law, and far from her homeland, she really missed her relatives. And in memory of her mother, Ezo created this soup, which was later called the bride's soup or Ezo chorbashi. Ezo was buried in Syria, but later, by an agreement between Syria and Turkey, Ezo was reburied in her homeland. This story became a legend, on the plot of which a film was made about the harsh and unhappy fate of Yezo. Every bride prepares this soup on the eve of the wedding so that life is happy and the relationship in marriage is smooth.
