Comment préparer Azerbaijani Kefir And Greens Soup

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add 6 cups vegetable or chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Stir in 1 cup dried split peas (soaked in water for 4 hours prior). Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add ½ cup long-grain rice. Partially cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup kefir (or plain yogurt) and 1 large egg until smooth.
Gradually whisk 2 cups of the hot soup into the kefir mixture to temper it, then gently stir the tempered kefir mixture back into the soup pot.
Add 2 cups packed fresh spinach, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon sugar. Simmer over very low heat until the rice is tender and the spinach is wilted (about 10 minutes). Do not boil!
Stir in 2 scallions (thinly sliced), ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint. Simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat. Serve warm, sprinkled with a pinch of ground sumac per serving.
