Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams plain yogurt (full-fat or Greek)
- 750 milliliters water
- 200 grams cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons dried mint
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, all-purpose flour, and egg yolk until smooth and free of lumps.
Gradually add 750 milliliters of water to the yogurt mixture while continuously whisking to ensure a smooth consistency.
Transfer the mixture to a large pot and place it over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent curdling as the mixture heats up.
Once the mixture begins to lightly simmer, add the cooked white rice. Stir well to combine and reduce the heat to low.
Let the soup simmer gently for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the dried mint and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to burn the spices.
Pour the spiced butter mixture into the simmering soup and stir well to incorporate the aromatic flavors.
Remove the soup from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
