Oh now this soup is so delicious. It is so creamy and has such a delicate taste of yogurt, onion, and fresh mint. I first ate this soup at Emine hoca's home a few months ago. Later I ask her for the recipe and she smiled and said I would have to travel to Erzurum to get it. Well It may not be as delicious as hers but it is definitely a close second. This would be paired well with red meat dishes, or even chicken. My son loved it as a main meal. He even helped to make the mini meatballs that add an extra special touch. If you have never tried a yogurt soup, don't be scared. It is very smooth with a subtle taste. Nothing too strong. This is such a healthy soup for children also. It is full of calcium and other vitamins. Afiyet olsun!
Recipe
1/2 lbs. halal ground meat
1 C milk (whole)
1 C plain yogurt
1 large onion
1 C rice (rinsed)
salt
pepper
1 tsp red pepper (use sweet if children will eat)
1-2 tsp dried mint
6-10 Cups water
1/2 C flour
What to do:

In a separate bowl add 1 C yogurt, 1 C water, 1 C milk, flour, mix with your immersion blender to remove lumps. When your soup has returned to a boil quickly add the yogurt mixture.

Simmer for another 10 minutes. At this time you can adjust the spices and also, add water or cook longer for a thicker soup.
Note: When soup cools it will become thicker. If there is leftovers mix in some water and place cooled soup in refrigerator.
