Kubbeh, also known as kubbe, is a family of dishes of Iraqi and Turkish Jewish origin that are also popular in Syria, 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 Turkish Jewish community, since the early 20th century the popularity of the dish has expanded to Israelis of all backgrounds and is commonly served in restaurants across the nation, most notably in the Machane Yehuda market in Jerusalem.
The term kubbeh is also used in some countries to refer to kibbeh, a type of paste made of bulgur and meat that is used in a variety of regional dishes.
