Cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas is a chilled yogurt- or ayran-based soup that includes chickpeas and often cooked wheat. It is a traditional Turkish dish, especially associated with warm-weather meals, and is served cold rather than as a hot broth.
Cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas tastes tangy and creamy from the yogurt or ayran, with a mild, earthy flavor from the chickpeas and wheat. Fresh herbs such as mint may add a fragrant, cooling note, though recipes vary.
Yes, canned chickpeas work in cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas. Drain and rinse them before adding them to the cooled wheat and yogurt mixture; this saves time and keeps the chickpeas from bringing excess canning liquid into the soup.
Cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas can be served as either a starter or a light meal. The chickpeas and commonly included wheat make it more substantial than a thin yogurt soup, so bread or a simple salad can complete a meal.
Freezing cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas is not recommended. Yogurt-based soups can separate or turn grainy after thawing, changing the smooth, creamy texture; refrigerate the soup instead and stir it before serving if it has thickened.
To keep the yogurt smooth in cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas, cool the cooked wheat and chickpeas before mixing them with the dairy. Whisk the yogurt or ayran until smooth first, then stir in the cooled ingredients gradually.
Cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas is a more filling, grain-based soup, usually made with chickpeas and cooked wheat. Cacik is generally a thinner yogurt dish with cucumber and herbs, so the two differ in both texture and main ingredients.
Cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas is part of Turkish regional cooking and is particularly associated with Eastern Anatolia. Its ingredients and name can vary from one local or family recipe to another, including the choice of grain and herbs.
Yes, cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas can be made without wheat, although it will be less like versions that use cooked wheat berries. Keep the chickpeas and yogurt base, and add fresh herbs for flavor; the resulting soup will have a different texture.
You can add herbs to cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas before chilling, but adding delicate fresh herbs shortly before serving keeps their color and aroma brighter. Mint is a common choice, while the amount and type depend on the recipe.

Cold ayranasi soup with chickpeas is a Turkish yogurt- or ayran-based soup, commonly made with cooked wheat and chickpeas. It is associated especially with eastern Anatolian cooking, though the grains, herbs and consistency vary from one household or region to another.
Served chilled, it has a gently tangy, refreshing taste, with tender grains and chickpeas that make it more substantial than a drink. It is a welcome summer lunch or a light starter; fresh mint is a natural garnish. Yogurt and chickpeas contribute protein, while the chickpeas and wheat add fibre. For a lighter, thinner bowl, stir in a little cold ayran just before serving.
