Ingredients
  

  • 34 fl. oz. water
  • 1 tbsp. green lentils
  • 1 tbsp. red lentils
  • 1 tbsp. bulgur wheat
  • 1 tbsp. white rice
  • 1 medium size egg
  • 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 small onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 6 1/2 fl. oz. Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 3 tbsp. sunflower oil
  • 1/2 tbsp. chili flakes
  • 1 tbsp. dried mint
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Put all the legumes in a strainer and wash them well. Place 1 liter of water in a soup pot and add the legumes to this water. Close the pot’s lid and boil the legumes until they become soft.
  • Meanwhile, pour Greek yogurt into a large mixing bowl. Add 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour and 1 egg to the yogurt. Grate the garlic and add it to the flour mixture. Mix well and set it aside.
  • Preheat a small skillet. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion. Add sunflower oil to the skillet. Once the oil heats up, add the butter and melt it. Add the chopped onion and fry for a while. Then, add all the spices and fry for a short while. Set aside.
  • Take 2 ladles of the water in which the legumes were boiled and add them to the yogurt dressing, mixing well. Then add the dressing to the pot where the legumes were boiled. Boil the soup for a short while, and it’s ready to serve.

Notes

  • Green lentils can change the color and taste of the water in which they are boiled, which some people may not prefer. If you're one of them, boil the green lentils separately in a pot and then drain the water. Add them to the other legumes last.
  • To further increase the vitamin value, you can add some broth to the water while boiling the legumes.
  • If you prefer not to see onions in your soup, you can choose to grate them instead of chopping them or puree them in a blender before adding to the soup.
