Yogurt soup, also known as “yogurtlu çorba” in Turkish cuisine, is a popular and refreshing dish made primarily from yogurt and various other ingredients. It is commonly served in Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries, as well as in parts of Central Asia. The exact preparation can vary from region to region, here’s our recipe of yogurt soup:
Take 4 cups of water, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 dessert spoon of salt, and 1 Turkish coffee cup of rice in a pot. Boil until the rice softens.
In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk together 1 cup of yogurt, 1 egg, slightly more than half a Turkish coffee cup of flour, and nearly 1 cup of water.
Once the rice softens, quickly stir in the yogurt mixture. Stir until it comes to a boil. Once it boils, simmer for 10-15 minutes on low heat. Remember to stir occasionally.
If the consistency becomes too thick, you can add a bit of water to thin it out. Once the soup is cooked, turn off the heat.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle 1 dessert spoon of mint on top to prepare the sauce.
Pour the soup into bowls, drizzle the buttery mint mixture on top, and enjoy your meal.
