Yogurt and Rice Soup (Yayla Çorbası)

Wash the rice thoroughly.

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of yogurt, 1 cup of water, the egg yolk, salt, and olive oil until well combined.

Put the washed rice and 1.5 cups of water into a pot and place it on the stove.

Cook until the rice is fully softened.

Slowly add the yogurt-egg-salt-olive oil mixture from the bowl into the pot while stirring constantly and quickly.

Add the turmeric and mint, then stir until the soup comes to a boil.

Once it starts boiling, let it boil for 5 more minutes, then remove from the heat.

In a separate pan, melt the butter, add the red pepper, and lightly sizzle it, then pour it over the soup and serve.
