Yogurt Zucchini Soup (Serves 6)

Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchinis
  • 1 cup strained yogurt
  • 4 cups water (optionally half can be chicken broth)
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic (grated)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • For the topping: Dried mint and red pepper

Preparation

  1. Prepare the zucchinis: Wash and grate the zucchinis without peeling them.
  2. Fry the zucchinis: Add olive oil to the pot, add the grated zucchinis and garlic and sauté for a few minutes.
  3. Add the water: Add the water and boil until the zucchinis are soft (about 10-12 minutes).
  4. Prepare the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt, flour and egg yolk.
  5. Combine with the soup: Take a few spoons of the boiling soup and warm the dressing, then slowly add it to the pot. Let it boil, stirring constantly.
  6. Spice: Season with salt and pepper. Cook on low heat for another 5 minutes.
  7. Prepare the sauce: Melt the butter in a small pan and heat the mint and red pepper flakes.
  8. Serving: Pour over the soup and serve hot.

Tip

Be sure to add the yogurt while it is warm so that it does not curdle and make sure to cook the soup on low heat after it boils.
