Add the chickpeas and koftes to the meat pot and cook for 15 minutes.
Whisk the yogurt and egg yolk and temper with hot meat stock.
Add the yogurt mixture slowly to the pot and cook over low heat for 8 minutes.
Heat the mint in butter for 1 minute and drizzle over the soup.
💡 Tip: Tempering the yogurt with hot meat stock slowly prevents it from curdling.
