Cold ayran soup with wheat is a Turkish chilled yogurt soup made with cooked wheat and ayran, a savory yogurt drink. It is often seasoned with salt and fresh herbs, and some versions include chickpeas.
To make cold ayran soup with wheat, cook the wheat until tender, drain it, and let it cool completely. Stir it into yogurt and ayran, season with salt and herbs, then chill the soup before serving.
Cold ayran soup with wheat is served chilled and has cooked wheat stirred into a yogurt-and-ayran base. Yayla soup is generally served hot and is commonly made with rice, so its temperature and main grain set it apart.
Yes, cooked wheat berries work in cold ayran soup with wheat. Cook them until tender, drain off excess water, and cool them before mixing them with the yogurt and ayran so the soup stays cold and creamy.
Mint and dill both go well in cold ayran soup with wheat. Stir in finely chopped fresh herbs shortly before serving for a bright flavor, or use dried mint sparingly so it does not overpower the yogurt.
Yes, cold ayran soup with wheat can be made ahead and chilled before serving. For the freshest texture, keep it covered in the refrigerator and stir it before serving, since the wheat may settle as it stands.
Cold ayran soup with wheat keeps for about 2 days when refrigerated promptly in a covered container. Return leftovers to the fridge after serving, and discard the soup if it has been left at room temperature for an extended time.
Yes, chickpeas are a common addition to some versions of cold ayran soup with wheat. Use cooked, cooled chickpeas and fold them in with the wheat; this makes the soup more substantial without changing its chilled serving style.
No, cold ayran soup with wheat does not always include mint. Fresh dill, other herbs, or no herbs at all can be used, depending on the recipe; mint is a familiar seasoning rather than a required ingredient.
Cold ayran soup with wheat pairs well with flatbread, a simple salad, or grilled vegetables. Since the soup already contains wheat and yogurt, these sides complement it without needing another rich or creamy dish.

Cold ayran soup with wheat combines cooked wheat with ayran, the tangy yogurt-and-water drink common in Turkey. Home and regional versions may also include chickpeas or fresh herbs. Served chilled, it tastes pleasantly tart and refreshing, with tender grains that give the soup a satisfying, slightly chewy texture.
In Turkey it is especially welcome in hot weather, as a light lunch or alongside a home-cooked meal; mint is a familiar finishing touch. For English-speaking readers, it makes an easy alternative to a creamy chilled soup, with grain and yogurt providing a little staying power. Serve it well chilled with salad or bread, or leave out richer accompaniments for a lighter meal.
