Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 onion, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth. 1 cup water. 1 cup Greek yogurt. 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill. 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro. 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric. Salt and pepper to taste. Optional toppings: chopped cucumber, radish slices, dried mint, and toasted sesame seeds.
Instructions: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and saut until softened. Add the chicken or vegetable broth and water to the pot. Bring to a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, dill, mint, cilantro, turmeric, salt, and pepper until smooth. Slowly pour a ladleful of the hot broth into the yogurt mixture, whisking constantly to temper the yogurt. Gradually add the tempered yogurt mixture back into the pot, stirring constantly. Simmer the soup gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cucumber, radish slices, dried mint, and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
