Ingredients
- 500 grams low-fat plain yogurt
- 900 ml water
- 100 grams cooked white rice
- 1 piece egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the low-fat yogurt, egg yolk, and flour until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Slowly add the water to the yogurt mixture while continuously whisking to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a large pot and place it over medium heat. Stir the mixture regularly to prevent curdling.
Step 4
Once the mixture begins to warm, add the cooked rice and salt. Continue stirring gently as the soup simmers for 10–15 minutes, until it thickens slightly and the rice is well-heated.
Step 5
In a small pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the dried mint (and minced garlic, if using) and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the butter or garlic.
Step 6
Pour the sautéed mint and butter mixture over the soup. Stir gently to distribute the flavor evenly.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed.
Step 8
Serve the yogurt soup warm, garnished with extra dried mint if desired.
