Frequently Asked Questions About Turkish herb soup
What is Turkish herb soup made of?
Turkish herb soup is typically made with yogurt, rice, egg, and aşotu, the herb that gives the soup its name. Some household recipes also use flour or butter, and the exact herbs and proportions vary by region.
How do you make Turkish herb soup?
To make Turkish herb soup, cook the rice, then stir in a tempered mixture of yogurt and egg and add the chopped herb. Warm the yogurt mixture gradually with hot broth first, then simmer gently while stirring so it stays smooth.
What is aşotu in Turkish herb soup?
Aşotu is a regional Turkish name for fresh coriander leaves, also called cilantro in some English-speaking countries. Its distinctive, fresh aroma seasons Turkish herb soup; add it near the end of cooking to keep its flavor from fading.
Why does the yogurt split in Turkish herb soup?
The yogurt in Turkish herb soup can split if it is added cold to boiling liquid or heated too quickly. Temper the yogurt-and-egg mixture with a little hot soup, pour it in gradually, and keep the pot at a gentle simmer.
Is Turkish herb soup served hot or cold?
Turkish herb soup is usually served warm or hot, though some people enjoy it chilled. If serving it cold, cool it promptly and refrigerate it rather than leaving the yogurt-and-egg soup at room temperature.
Where does Turkish herb soup come from?
Turkish herb soup is associated especially with eastern Turkey, including Erzurum, where aşotu is a regional name for the herb used in it. Home recipes differ, so the soup does not have just one fixed ingredient list.
Can you make Turkish herb soup without fresh aşotu?
Yes, Turkish herb soup can be made with dried coriander if fresh aşotu is unavailable. Dried herbs taste more concentrated, so start with a small amount; fresh coriander is best stirred in near the end of cooking.
What goes well with Turkish herb soup?
Turkish herb soup pairs well with fresh bread or a simple salad. Since the rice and yogurt make it fairly substantial, lighter vegetable dishes or small meze are good accompaniments if you are serving it as part of a meal.
How long does Turkish herb soup keep in the fridge?
Turkish herb soup keeps for about two days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Because it contains yogurt and egg, refrigerate leftovers promptly; reheat gently while stirring and warm only the portion you plan to eat.
Can you freeze Turkish herb soup?
Yes, Turkish herb soup can be frozen, but the yogurt-based broth may separate or turn grainy after thawing. For the smoothest texture, make it fresh; if reheating a thawed portion, warm it gently while stirring.

What is Turkish herb soup?
Turkish herb soup is a regional yogurt-based soup associated especially with Erzurum and eastern Anatolia. Its defining herb is aşotu, the local name for coriander leaves; rice gives the soup substance, while yogurt and egg are whisked into a creamy, gently tangy base. Recipes vary by household, and the herb may be used fresh or dried.
It is usually served warm as a first course or a light meal, though a cooler serving can feel welcome in summer. The texture is smooth with tender grains of rice, and the herbs keep the flavour fresh rather than rich. Yogurt and egg contribute some protein, while rice provides most of its body. Pair it with crusty bread or a simple salad; go easy on any butter or oil added at the end for a lighter bowl.
