Cook the fine bulgur in 2 cups water for 12 minutes.
Whisk the yogurt drink in a separate bowl and temper it with a ladle of hot bulgur water.
Pour the yogurt drink into the pot in a thin stream, stirring constantly so it does not curdle.
Add the mint and heat over low heat for 2 minutes.
Adjust the salt at the last moment and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Tempering the yogurt drink before adding it to the pot keeps the soup from curdling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with mint sprinkled on top and thin flatbread alongside.
