Tahnabour Hot Yogurt Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Cook wheat in 4 cups of water until tender.
• Blend yogurt, water, egg and flour with beater.
• Cook until it boils, stirring constantly with wooden spoon.
• Add salt, cooked wheat and remove from heat.
• Saute onion in butter, add mint and parsley.
• Combine with soup.
• Simmer 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring the stock to a boil in a large saucepan, stir in the rice, cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the rice is tender.
• In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, flour and egg yolks, mixing with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add the cold water in a thin stream while stirring constantly. Stir yogurt mixture into the hot soup, season with salt and pepper, cover and gently simmer for 10 minutes.
• Heat butter in a small saucepan until foamy. Add the dried mint and leave on low heat for 1 minute. Pour warm butter mixture over the soup, and serve immediately. (If soup is to be reheated later for another serving, thin it with water).

Steps:

• Wash and drain spinach; remove any large stems.
• Cut into strips.
• Heat oil in large saucepan and saute garlic, onion, and green onions until soft.
• Stir in rice; add 3 1/2 cups water and the turmeric.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Simmer for 15 minutes, then add spinach, cooking 5-7 minutes more, until rice is tender.
• Lower heat on soup.
• Stir yogurt briskly, then add to soup.
• Stir only to blend, and heat just until soup is heated through.
• Do not boil, or yogurt will curdle.
• Serve.
• As a suggestion, serve with fresh flatbreads with olive oil, olives, lemon wedges, and a plate of fresh herbs.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender and beginning to color, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and the barley and stir together until the garlic smells fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute. Add the stock and salt to taste (depending on the saltiness of the stock), and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 40 minutes, or until the barley is tender.
• In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved. Whisk into the yogurt. Off the heat, whisk this mixture into the soup. Return to low heat and bring to a bare simmer, stirring. Do not boil. Add salt to taste and a generous amount of pepper. Stir in the cilantro, and season with fresh lemon juice if desired (or squeeze a few drops over each bowl). Serve hot or warm, garnished with thin rounds of lemon.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in the flour, salt, tarragon, nutmeg and cayenne, and heat until fragrant. Stir in spinach (undrained) and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
• Remove the soup from the heat, and puree in a food processor or blender in batches. Return to the saucepan, and whisk in yogurt. Heat through, but do not boil. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Ladle into bowls, and float a lemon slice on top of each serving.
