What is Charred eggplant soup?
Charred eggplant soup is a Turkish-style soup made with eggplant roasted over a flame or in the oven until its skin blackens, then scooped out and cooked into a soup. Recipes may include onion and garlic, and the texture can be blended smooth or left slightly rustic. Its defining character is the eggplant’s smoky flavour and soft, velvety body.
It is usually served warm as a starter or light meal, with herbs, a drizzle of olive oil or a pinch of chilli. The vegetable-led soup is relatively light; the amount of oil or any creamy additions can make it richer. Pair it with crusty bread, or add lemon and fresh herbs for a brighter finish.
