Yogurt Soup - very simple soup with few ingredients.

For this recipe you need:

• Plain yogurt at room temperature 250 gr
• Lentil 100 gr
• Oat 50 gr
• Roughly chopped green onion 2 tbs
• Roughly chopped fresh mint a small bunch
• Dried mixed herbs(optional) 1 tbs
• Olive oil 4 tbs
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Turmeric (optional) 1/2 tsp
• Warm water 7 cups
• Dried powder mint 1 tbs

Serving: 4 people

1. Put a medium-size pot over medium-low heat. Add 2 tbs olive oil onto it and when hot enough, add the green onions and turmeric, sauté for a few minutes.
2. Then add the lentils, black pepper, and salt and stir for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the water and yogurt to the pot, stir well, and mix. Bring to a boil, cover the pot and let it simmer over medium-low heat for 40 min. (It is better to add some warm water to the yogurt first and mix well to increase the temperature of the yogurt and then add to the pot to prevent any curdle).
4. Add the mint, dried herbs, and oats to the pot, cover, and keep cooking for another 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
5. Pour in serving bowls and garnish with fried mint. *

*In a small pan, add the two tbs olive oil or butter, and when hot enough fry the dried mint for about 20 seconds or until it releases its aroma - be careful, dried mint burns quickly.
