Cut the eggplants, zucchini, and green peppers into small cubes.
Put the vegetables in a pot with water and salt and cook for 10 minutes.
Add the bulgur and boil with the vegetables for 15 minutes, until tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and wait until the soup is no longer hot.
Whisk the yogurt until smooth and stir it gradually into the warm soup.
Finely chop the onion and saute in vegetable oil for 6 minutes, until lightly pink.
Add the red pepper flakes and dried mint to the onion oil and stir for 30 seconds.
Drizzle the oil over the soup and serve warm or cold.
💡 Tip: Adding the yogurt after the soup has cooled to warm keeps it smooth without curdling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold on summer tables or warm on winter days with mint oil.
