Yayla Corbasi | Turkish Yogurt Soup
Yayla Corbasi is a delicious Turkish soup recipe that is crafted using just a few ingredients, and is one of the most delicious, comforting soups you'll have ever tried.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon flour
- ¼ cup rice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon dried mint
Instructions
- To make this recipe, in a bowl, mix yogurt, egg yolk and flour and whisk it all together till you get a uniform mixture. Add salt to season.
- Meanwhile in a large pot or a large saucepan, cook the rice for this recipe in the chicken stock, until it comes up to a boil and the rice is nice and soft.
- Slowly add a little of the chicken stock that's leftover into the yogurt and mix well until the soups consistency starts to thicken.
- Add the yogurt mixture back to the pot and let it simmer on medium heat. Once you bring to a boil, turn down the heat and ladle it out in small serving bowls.
- Heat the butter in a small pan and add the dried mint, stirring occasionally. Quickly remove from heat and drizzle this over the yogurt soup, right before you serve.
- You can also pour it over the yogurt and stir in the dried mint butter if you want those little specks of green in the white of the yogurt mixture.
Notes
- If you're adding some veggies into the soup, you may want to cook them with the rice
- Remember to use full fat yogurt for this recipe. Choosing low fat yogurt will not give you the same creaminess and richness you're expecting.
- I would recommend starting with ingredients at room temperature. If you use cold yogurt and cold egg yolk, there's a higher risk of the soup appearing grainy and curdled.
- Remember to slowly add the rice water to the yogurt mixture little by little, stirring continuously. This will help keep the yogurt from curdling.
- If you don find any lumps in the hot yogurt soup, you can whisk it nicely while it is still hot, and then top it with the minty butter.
- Be careful and keep the temperature low when you melt the butter - dried mint tends to burn easily.
