Dovga (Azerbaijani: Dovğа) is an Azerbaijani soup made from plain yoghurt and herbs.[1] Traditionally, it is served as a wedding soup and is introduced between courses of meat, intended to boost digestion.[2][3][4]

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.[3] The soup is sometimes cooked with rice, chickpeas, and meatballs.[2][5][6] It is often served warm in winter or chilled in summer.[2][6]

One variation of dovga is abdug, popular in Iran.[3] Abdug does not include rice and is served with ice in the summer.
