1 cup (medium) of Chickpea yogurt soup (220 g) has 187 calories. That works out to 85 calories per 100 g. It contains 26 g of carbs, 9.2 g of protein, 4.6 g of fat and 5.7 g of fiber. Its 0.3 mg of Copper covers 32% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Chickpea yogurt soup is a thick, tangy Turkish home-style soup made with yogurt and cooked chickpeas. Recipes vary: some include rice or wheat, and the yogurt is usually mixed gradually with hot broth so it stays smooth as the soup cooks. It is commonly served warm, often finished with dried mint and sometimes a little melted butter.
The chickpeas make it more substantial than a simple yogurt soup, contributing both protein and fibre; it has 4.2 g of protein per 100 g. Serve it as a light lunch or as a first course with bread and a crisp salad. For a lighter bowl, keep the buttery garnish modest. Its gentle sourness and creamy texture make it a comforting choice on a cool day.

Chickpea yogurt soup is made with chickpeas and yogurt, often with broth and a thickener such as flour or egg. Some recipes also include rice or wheat, so the grain and seasonings vary between versions.
To make chickpea yogurt soup, cook the chickpeas and any grain until tender, then stir in a yogurt mixture that has been gradually warmed with hot broth. Keep the soup over low heat and stir so the yogurt stays smooth.
Chickpea yogurt soup can curdle when cold yogurt is added straight to very hot liquid or the soup boils after the yogurt is added. Whisk the yogurt mixture, temper it with warm broth, and heat the finished soup gently.
Yes, chickpea yogurt soup can be served cold, although it is commonly served warm. Cool it promptly and chill it before serving; stir it well afterward, since the yogurt can thicken as it sits.
Yes, canned chickpeas work well in chickpea yogurt soup. Drain and rinse them first, then add them near the end of cooking because they are already cooked and can break apart if simmered for too long.
Yes, Greek yogurt can be used in chickpea yogurt soup, but its thickness may make the soup denser and its tanginess more noticeable. Whisk it with a little broth before adding it, and thin the soup gradually if needed.
Chickpea yogurt soup keeps in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 3 days if cooled promptly. Reheat only what you plan to eat, over low heat, stirring often and avoiding a boil to help preserve its texture.
Chickpea yogurt soup can be frozen, but the yogurt may separate and turn grainy after thawing. For a smoother result, freeze the chickpea-and-broth base before adding the yogurt, then stir in freshly prepared yogurt mixture after reheating.
Chickpea yogurt soup pairs well with crusty bread, a fresh salad, or roasted vegetables. Since chickpeas and yogurt make it substantial, a light accompaniment is usually enough for a simple lunch or dinner.
Chickpea yogurt soup is associated with Turkish home cooking, where yogurt-based soups are made in many regional and household variations. Recipes may differ in their choice of grain, herbs, and finishing butter, so there is not just one fixed version.
