Whisk the bulgur kishk powder with 2 cups of cold water in a bowl until smooth.
Finely chop the onion and garlic.
Soften the onion in olive oil for 6 minutes, add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute.
Add the kishk mixture, remaining water, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Cook the soup for 18 minutes, stirring until thickened; if the bottom catches, lower the heat below medium-low.
Melt the butter and foam the dried mint in it for 1 minute.
Serve the kishk soup with the mint butter and lemon.
💡 Tip: Whisk the bulgur kishk powder with cold water first; like tarhana, it forms small doughy lumps if added straight to a hot pot.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kishk soup as a winter soup with mint butter, lemon, and optional toasted pide cubes.
