Its 0.3 mg of B2 covers 22% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 55 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Yogurt Soup with Bulgur is the English page name for yarmalı yoğurt çorbası, a traditional Turkish soup. Despite the label, yarma usually means hulled whole wheat kernels rather than bulgur; they are cooked with yogurt and seasoned with mint and spices. The yogurt brings a gentle tang, while the wheat gives the soup a thick, creamy texture and makes it more substantial than a light broth.
In Turkey it is commonly served hot for lunch or dinner, either alongside a main dish or as a simple meal in its own right, often finished with dried mint. It offers some protein and fibre but is chiefly a carbohydrate-containing soup. Pair it with a crisp salad for a balanced meal, or serve a smaller bowl alongside other dishes.

Yogurt soup with bulgur is made by cooking the grain until tender, then stirring it into a yogurt-based broth. Temper the yogurt mixture with ladles of hot broth before adding it gradually to the pot, stirring constantly.
To keep yogurt soup with bulgur smooth, bring the yogurt mixture closer to the soup’s temperature before combining them. Whisk in hot broth a little at a time, add it slowly while stirring, and avoid a vigorous boil afterward.
Yogurt soup with bulgur is best made with coarse bulgur or cracked wheat, which holds its shape in the broth. Fine bulgur softens quickly and can make the soup noticeably thicker, so reduce the amount or add it near the end.
Yogurt soup with bulgur uses bulgur or coarse cracked wheat, while Turkish yayla soup is commonly made with rice. Both can have a tangy yogurt base and mint, but the grain gives each soup a different texture.
Yogurt soup with bulgur is usually served hot, often with dried mint warmed in butter on top. Some regional or summer versions are served chilled, but cool the soup promptly and refrigerate it rather than leaving it out.
Dried mint warmed briefly in butter is a traditional topping for yogurt soup with bulgur. A drizzle of olive oil or a little Aleppo pepper also works; add toppings just before serving so they keep their aroma and texture.
Yes, you can prepare yogurt soup with bulgur ahead, but the grain will continue absorbing liquid as it sits. Store it chilled and loosen it with a little water or broth while reheating gently, stirring to restore a spoonable consistency.
Yogurt soup with bulgur keeps for about 2–3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Chill it promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat over low heat while stirring.
Freezing yogurt soup with bulgur is not recommended because the yogurt can separate and turn grainy when thawed. For meal prep, freeze cooked bulgur separately and stir it into freshly prepared yogurt broth instead.
Yogurt soup with bulgur pairs well with a crisp salad, flatbread, or roasted vegetables. Since the soup already contains a grain and a creamy yogurt base, a simple, fresh side balances the meal without making it feel too heavy.
