Kesmе Soup.
Kesmе is a type of noodle, and how to prepare it depends on the preferences and skills of the cook. Like shurpa, kesmе comes in two varieties: kuurma (fried) and kainatma (boiled). Any vegetables, including potatoes, can be added to kesmе soup, but the noodles must be the main ingredient.
