Meatball yogurt soup is a Turkish-style yogurt soup served with small meatballs. It combines a tangy yogurt-based broth, often with rice and dried mint, with seasoned ground-meat balls, making it heartier than plain yogurt soup.
Temper the yogurt mixture with a little hot soup broth before adding it to the pot. Pour it in gradually while stirring, then cook gently; a hard boil after adding the yogurt can make the broth split.
Mix and knead the seasoned ground meat until it holds together, then shape compact, small balls. Add them gently to the simmering soup rather than dropping them in all at once, and avoid vigorous stirring while they cook.
Meatball yogurt soup is commonly made with rice, which softens in the yogurt broth and gives the soup body. Recipes vary, though: some cooks omit it or use another small pasta, so rice is traditional but not essential.
Yes, meatball yogurt soup can be frozen, but its yogurt broth may separate or become grainy after thawing. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it gently while stirring; avoid bringing it to a rolling boil.
Meatball yogurt soup is a meatball-containing variation of Turkish yayla soup. Both have a yogurt-based broth and often include rice and mint, but the meatballs add a savory, substantial element that plain yayla soup does not have.
Meatball yogurt soup belongs to Turkish home cooking and builds on the widely known yayla-style yogurt soup. Yogurt soups have many regional and household variations, so the meatball version is not reliably attributed to just one place.
Yes, you can make meatball yogurt soup without egg. Egg is often used to help stabilize the yogurt tempering, but whisking yogurt with flour and gradually adding warm broth can also help keep the soup smooth as it cooks.
Serve meatball yogurt soup with fresh bread or pide and a simple salad or vegetable side. The soup already combines a tangy yogurt broth with meat, so lighter accompaniments balance the meal better than another rich, creamy dish.
Reheat meatball yogurt soup slowly in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often. Do not let it boil vigorously; if the broth has thickened in the refrigerator, stir in a little hot water until it reaches the consistency you want.

Meatball yogurt soup is a Turkish home-style soup combining small meatballs with a rice soup thickened and gently soured with yogurt. A little flour and egg may be used in the yogurt mixture, while dried mint and butter often give the finished bowl its familiar aroma; recipes vary between households.
In Turkey, it is served hot as a light meal or a first course, often with bread. The yogurt and meatballs contribute protein, while the rice makes the broth creamy and filling; it provides 4.6 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter bowl, use lean meat for the meatballs and go easy on the butter topping.
