Kubbeh, also known as kubbe,[1][2] is a family of dishes of Iraqi Jewish, and Assyrian[1] origin that are also popular in the Levant, and consist of a filled dumpling soup, with a wide array of fillings and soup broths. Once almost exclusively made at home by members of the Iraqi and Assyrian communities, since the early 20th century the popularity of the dish has expanded to Israelis of all backgrounds. It is commonly served in restaurants across Israel, most notably in the Machane Yehuda market in Jerusalem.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
