Frequently Asked Questions About Cold Ayranasi Soup
What is cold ayranasi soup?
Cold ayranasi soup is a minimally processed Turkish yogurt soup made with cooked wheat and chickpeas, then served chilled. It is a traditional, filling summer dish; recipes may use ayran or water to adjust the yogurt base and herbs for extra flavor.
How do you make cold ayranasi soup?
To make cold ayranasi soup, cook wheat and chickpeas until tender, then let them cool completely. Stir them into smooth yogurt thinned with water or ayran, season with salt and herbs, and chill the soup before serving.
Where does cold ayranasi soup come from?
Cold ayranasi soup is associated with Eastern Anatolian cuisine, particularly the Erzurum region of Turkey. Related yogurt, wheat, and chickpea soups are made elsewhere too, but recipes and local names vary across the country.
Is cold ayranasi soup the same as cacık?
No, cold ayranasi soup is not the same as cacık. Ayranasi is built around cooked wheat and chickpeas in a yogurt or ayran base, while cacık usually combines yogurt with cucumber, garlic, and herbs and does not contain those cooked grains and legumes.
Is cold ayranasi soup always served cold?
Yes, cold ayranasi soup is traditionally served chilled. Cooling the cooked wheat and chickpeas before mixing them with yogurt helps keep the soup refreshing and prevents the warm ingredients from changing the yogurt’s texture.
What kind of wheat goes in cold ayranasi soup?
Cold ayranasi soup is usually made with cracked or hulled wheat, often called yarma or dövme in Turkish. Cook it until tender before adding it to the yogurt; bulgur can be used in a pinch, but gives the soup a different texture.
Can you make cold ayranasi soup ahead of time?
Yes, cold ayranasi soup can be made ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator. The wheat absorbs liquid as it rests, so stir it before serving and loosen it with a little cold water or ayran if it has become too thick.
Can canned chickpeas be used in cold ayranasi soup?
Yes, canned chickpeas work well in cold ayranasi soup. Drain and rinse them first, then stir them in after the cooked wheat has cooled; this keeps the chickpeas from adding excess salt or canning liquid to the yogurt base.
How do you stop cold ayranasi soup from curdling?
To keep cold ayranasi soup smooth, cool the cooked wheat and chickpeas fully before combining them with yogurt. Whisk the yogurt until smooth, add the cooled ingredients gradually, and avoid boiling the yogurt mixture.
What can you serve with cold ayranasi soup?
Cold ayranasi soup pairs well with fresh bread, a crisp salad, or grilled vegetables. Because it already contains wheat and chickpeas, a simple accompaniment usually works better than another heavy, grain-based dish.

What is Cold Ayranasi Soup?
Cold Ayranasi Soup is a chilled Turkish yogurt soup, especially associated with eastern Anatolia. It is usually made with yogurt or ayran, cooked wheat and chickpeas, with herbs such as mint added in some versions. The yogurt gives it a gently tangy taste, while the grains and chickpeas make it more substantial than a thin yogurt drink.
In Turkey it is served cold, particularly in warm weather, either as a light meal or alongside other dishes. Its refreshing, creamy-tart character pairs well with fresh bread and simple vegetable dishes. Yogurt contributes protein, while the chickpeas and wheat add fibre and make the soup filling; thin it with water or ayran if you prefer a lighter bowl.
