How to Make Yayla Corbasi Turkish Yogurt Soup

  1. In a large pot, combine 6 cups of water, 1 cup of rice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 bouillon cube. Bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer until the rice is cooked through and tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. While the rice cooks, whisk together 1 cup of plain yogurt, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour in a medium bowl until smooth.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, carefully ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot broth into the yogurt mixture, whisking constantly to temper the yogurt and prevent curdling.
  5. Slowly pour the tempered yogurt mixture into the pot with the rice, stirring gently and continuously to avoid lumps.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup slightly thickens.
  7. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Once melted and beginning to foam, add 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Stir the mint-butter mixture into the soup.
  9. Serve the Yayla Çorbası immediately, garnished with extra mint leaves (optional).
