Zucchini Soup With Yogurt

I woke up with a terrible sore throat this morning. I mean it was that pain waking me up and it was so hard to gulp. It is not a kind of feeling I’m familiar with as I rarely fall sick even in the coldest weather. I have such a strong body that I don’t need to wear so thick clothes during Winter while everyone tries to cover their whole body, even their foreheads. My friends are always surprised how I can bear such freezing degrees. When they ask me how, my constant answer is related to what I eat.

Although I felt better at the end of school time, I didn’t want to prepare a complete meal for dinner as I was off my food. The only dish I could eat was a warm soup. When I opened the refrigerator, I saw we had almost nothing left except a few zucchinis. I didn’t know a soup with zucchini, not so common here. Remembering that a close friend mentioned a creamy zucchini soup she cooked before, I took a deep breath of relief. I called her without wasting any more time and got the recipe from her. The result was incredibly tasty and I had two bowls. This was my total dinner, but it was enough for me, at least today.

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 2 zucchinis, thinly chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 4 tbsp yogurt
• 2 tbsp flour
• 5 cups hot water
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Fresh dill and red pepper flakes to garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a pot and saute onion and garlic. Add in chopped zucchini and saute them for about 5 minutes.
2. Pour hot water into it and bring it to boil.
3. Mix yogurt and flour in a bowl. Do not pour it directly into the pot. Take some hot water with a ladle from the pot and add it little by little to yogurt and flour mixture. This helps yogurt to ‘adapt’ to the heat of the soup. Otherwise, it goes bad.
4. If it’s still cold, add some more hot water into it and mix well.
5. Pour the mixture into the pot, but don’t hurry while doing this. Stir well and mix it with a blender until smooth.
6. Boil it a few minutes more. Add salt and serve it hot.
7. You can garnish it with fresh dill and red pepper flakes.
