היסטוריה ומקורות
Kubbeh (kibbeh) are dumplings of grain dough stuffed with meat, widespread throughout the Middle East. Kubbeh soups were part of the cuisine of Iraqi and Kurdish Jews; after their mass emigration to Israel around 1950–1951 they became popular in Jerusalem, especially around the Machane Yehuda market.
Hamusta means "sour" in Arabic, after the lemony taste of the soup. In Iraqi families kubbeh hamusta was reportedly served mainly on Friday or for Shabbat lunch.
