1 cup (medium) of Wheat Yogurt Soup (250 g) has 163 calories. That works out to 65 calories per 100 g. It contains 25.5 g of carbs, 7 g of protein, 3.8 g of fat and 3 g of fiber. Its 0.3 mg of B2 covers 21% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 55 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Wheat Yogurt Soup is a Turkish home-style soup made with cooked wheat stirred into a yogurt-based broth. Recipes vary from household to household, but mint is a familiar seasoning, and the soup may be served cool in warm weather or warm when the weather turns colder. A little dried mint or red pepper on top adds fragrance and colour.
Its gentle tang comes from the yogurt, while the wheat gives each spoonful a soft, substantial texture. It offers some protein and fibre and can work as a light meal or as a first course. For a lighter bowl, loosen the yogurt with water and use less added fat; serve it with a crisp salad or bread.

Wheat yogurt soup is made by simmering cooked wheat with a yogurt-based broth. Whisk the yogurt smooth, gradually mix in some warm broth to temper it, then stir it into the pot and heat gently rather than letting it boil hard.
Wheat yogurt soup can be served either hot or cold. For a warm bowl, heat it gently after adding the yogurt; for a chilled version, cool it in the refrigerator and stir it well before serving, since the grains settle.
Wheat berries or Turkish aşurelik wheat are commonly used in wheat yogurt soup. Cook the grains until tender before combining them with the yogurt mixture; bulgur cooks differently and gives the soup a noticeably different texture.
Wheat yogurt soup contains whole wheat grains, while Turkish yayla soup is usually made with rice and a yogurt-and-mint base. Both are yogurt soups, but the wheat gives this one a chewier, heartier texture.
Wheat yogurt soup can curdle when cold yogurt hits very hot broth or the soup boils vigorously. Temper the yogurt with a little warm broth first, add it gradually while stirring, and keep the finished soup at a gentle heat.
Yes, leftover cooked wheat works well in wheat yogurt soup. Stir it into the broth to heat through, then add the tempered yogurt mixture near the end; this also helps keep the grains from becoming overly soft.
Dried mint is a classic topping for wheat yogurt soup, often paired with red pepper flakes. For a richer finish, briefly warm the mint in butter and drizzle it over each bowl just before serving.
Wheat yogurt soup pairs well with a crisp salad, pickled vegetables, or a simple vegetable side. Since the wheat makes the soup substantial, a light accompaniment usually suits it better than another heavy dish.
Wheat yogurt soup keeps for about 3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, warming it gently and stirring so the yogurt base stays as smooth as possible.
You can freeze wheat yogurt soup, but the yogurt may separate and turn grainy when thawed. For a better texture, freeze the cooked wheat and broth before adding yogurt, then stir in fresh yogurt after reheating.
