Iranian Yogurt Soup - Ashe Mast image

I originally posted this with the wrong name, so please ignore the bad review. It doesn't seem the reviewer tried making the soup and is posting based on mistaken name only. This recipe is passed down from my grandmother to my mother to me and it is fantastic! The challenge of making this soup is in keeping the yogurt from curdling. It needs to be stirred consistently while cooking. Enjoy!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 lb ground beef
1 small onion, grated
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 cups plain yogurt
1/4 cup rice, uncooked
1 egg
1 tablespoon flour
4 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 tablespoon dill (optional)
1 (16 ounce) can garbanzo beans
1 (16 ounce) can white beans
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon dried mint

Steps:

  • Put the meat in a bowl. Add grated onion and salt and pepper and mix well. Make meat balls the size of walnuts.
  • Put yogurt in a 3-qt pot. Add rice, egg, flour and mix well. Add water. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly for about 20 minutes or until it thickens and rice cooks.
  • Add meat balls to the yogurt mixture and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add greens and beans and let simmer for 15 minutes. Can substitute fresh beans for canned.
  • Stir often to avoid curdling.
  • As a soup garnish, chop one or two cloves of garlic and saute in butter, add dried mint, about 1 tablespoon, and put a teaspoonful of this hot garlic sauce on each plate of yogurt soup when serving.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the meatballs and the creamy soup. I also like that it's a relatively healthy soup, thanks to the lentils and vegetables.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit! My family loves the creamy texture and the delicious flavor. I usually serve it with some warm pita bread or rice. It's the perfect soup for a cold winter day.

This soup was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I might have used too much yogurt. I also found the meatballs to be a bit dry. Overall, I wasn't impressed with this soup.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover yogurt. I had some plain yogurt that was about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The soup was delicious and it was so easy to make. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup was a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the meatballs were dry. I think I might have done something wrong, but I followed the recipe exactly. Maybe I'll try it again another time and see if I can get it right.
