(Yayla Corbasi)

Click to enlarge
6 cups water
1 cube beef bouillon
1/2 cup rice, washed and drained
2 cups yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup flour
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp dry mint
Salt

In a large pot boil the water, rice, salt and bouillon. Cook on medium high, until the rice is done.

Meanwhile in a bowl, mix yogurt, milk, egg yolk and flour. After the rice is cooked, take a few spoons of liquid from the pot and mix into the bowl. Then slowly pour your mixture into the pot while stirring very slowly. Cook for 10 more minutes.

Place the butter in a frying pan. When it begins spitting, stir in the mint and pour into your soup.

Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

I made this last night.
I substituted vegetable broth for the boullion and water (vegetarian guests), and garnished with grated carrot washed in lemon juice and cayenne pepper (which both looked great in contrast to the white soup).

Thanks for a wonderful recipe

Hi!

I am so glad I stumbled upon your wonderful site. It is fabulous, thank you so much for doing this. I live in Australia and I have family in Turkey. I love to visit and I adore the food. I am recently married and wanted to show my husband how beautiful Turkish food is. But the cookbooks sent to me from Turkey are hard to follow. I adore Yayla Corbasi and cannot find it here in any of the restaurants. I am going to try out your recipe, I am so pleased.

I have one question though- what type of yogurt should I use?

There are so many types I don't want to get it wrong.

Thank you kindly,

Carrie.

Hi Carrie,
Thank you, I am glad I can help your cooking, I am sure you will impress your husband with the beautiful dishes that Turkish Cuisine has to offer:)
All the yogurt that I use in my recipes is a plain one. I should have implied this, sorry:) It is delicious and time is perfect for this heart warming soup.
I wish you all the happiness,

Binnur,
Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe. This soup is filling, tasty, and healthy. I also really enjoyed the red lentil soup.
I enjoy the whole website, I have looked for a good turkish cookbook, or for a good website, but the recipes are often useless since they often call for ingredients that I can't find, and the processes described are complex and new to me. All of your recipes are very accessible, the ingredients are simple, yet produce delicious dishes, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Thanks again, and congratulations on the success of your website.

Hello Binnur. I made this recipe and it tastes great but I was wondering if it was supposed to have the consistency almost like cream of wheat? I think maybe I added too much rice or flour.

Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks :)

Hi,
The soup is not that heavy. Maybe you add too much rice and flour. Please use the same amount of ingredients given in the recipe. If it seems to tick, you can always add a little bit hot water mixed with some yogurt:)
