Ingredients

• 500 grams plain yogurt
• 100 grams white rice
• 1000 milliliters water
• 1 piece egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried mint
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring 1000 ml of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg yolk, and flour until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, reduce the heat to low and slowly add the yogurt mixture to the pot. Stir continuously to prevent curdling.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the soup thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Ensure it doesn't come to a boil.

Step 6

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and dried mint, stirring to combine.

Step 7

In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it becomes slightly golden and aromatic. Pour it over the soup for added flavor.

Step 8

Garnish with finely chopped fresh dill before serving to add a refreshing touch.

Step 9

Serve the yogurt soup hot, with crusty bread or as an elegant appetizer.
