Knead a firm dough with the flour, water, and half the salt.
Pinch the dough into small chickpea-sized pieces and dry them for 15 minutes on a lightly floured tray.
Dice the onion and prepare the minced beef and tomato paste.
Soften the onion in butter for 6 minutes, add the minced beef, and brown for 8 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, dried mint, black pepper, and remaining salt and stir for 2 minutes.
Add the water to the pot, and when it boils, add the dough pieces and cook for 14 minutes.
Rest the Tekke soup for 5 minutes, loosen with hot water if it is thick, and serve.
💡 Tip: Dust the dough pieces with flour and let them stand; they will not stick together in the pot and stay separate in the soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Tekke soup as a hearty winter soup with mint butter on top, optional lemon, and pickles.
