Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup is made by simmering hulled wheat until tender, adding chopped zucchini, then stirring in a yogurt mixture. Temper the yogurt with a little hot broth first and keep the soup at a gentle heat so the yogurt does not split.
Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup uses whole hulled wheat, often sold as wheat berries or ashed wheat, rather than ordinary refined flour. The kernels give the soup its chewy texture; soaking them ahead helps them cook more evenly.
To keep the yogurt smooth in Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup, whisk it until even and gradually mix in hot broth before adding it to the pot. Stir continuously over low heat and avoid bringing the soup to a rolling boil afterward.
Yes, Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup works well with cooked wheat. Add it after the zucchini has started to soften, simmer just long enough for the flavors to combine, and stir in the tempered yogurt near the end.
Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup is usually served hot, often with mint or paprika warmed in oil on top. It can also be served closer to room temperature, but keep it refrigerated until serving rather than leaving the yogurt-based soup out.
Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup is associated with Turkish home cooking, where yogurt soups and hulled wheat are common ingredients. Recipes vary by household, so it is safer to describe it as an Anatolian-style soup than to assign it to one specific region.
Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup pairs well with bread, a crisp salad, or a simple vegetable side. Mint or paprika in warm oil is a familiar finishing touch, while a very rich or strongly flavored main dish can overwhelm its mild yogurt-and-zucchini taste.
Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup keeps for about 2–3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator when cooled promptly. Reheat it gently, stirring often, and do not let it boil, since the yogurt can separate.
You can freeze Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup, but its yogurt may turn grainy or separate after thawing. For a smoother result, freeze the cooked wheat-and-zucchini base without yogurt, then thaw it and add freshly tempered yogurt while reheating.
No, you usually do not need to peel zucchini for Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup; its tender skin softens during cooking and helps the pieces hold their shape. Wash it well, trim the ends, and cut it into small pieces for an even texture.

Wheat Zucchini Yogurt Soup is a Turkish home-style soup made by cooking dövme—hulled wheat kernels—with zucchini and yogurt. The wheat gives it substance, while the zucchini and tangy yogurt keep the flavour gentle and fresh. Recipes vary from household to household, but the combination makes a simple, comforting bowl rather than a heavily seasoned soup.
It is usually served warm as a first course or a light meal, and works especially well when zucchini is in season. A little dried mint or bread alongside makes an easy serving. Nutritionally, it is relatively light, with carbohydrates mainly from the wheat and some protein from the yogurt; use a modest amount of added fat if you want to keep it lighter.
