Gently clean 8 squash blossoms and cut them into strips.
Boil half a cup of rice in 4 cups water for 12 minutes.
Temper 1.5 cups yogurt with two ladles of hot rice water so it does not curdle.
Add the yogurt to the pot and heat for 4 minutes, stirring.
Add the squash blossoms and mint and cook for 3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and serve at once so the blossoms do not fall apart.
💡 Tip: Adding the squash blossoms in the final 3 minutes keeps their structure from completely falling apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the soup warm, sprinkle mint over the top, and finish with lemon.
