Rinse the korkoto and place it in a pot with the water.
Cook the korkoto over low heat for 34 minutes, until the grains open.
Add the salt and black pepper, then check the consistency of the soup.
Temper the ayran with two ladles of hot soup broth.
Slowly add the warmed ayran to the pot and cook over low heat for 8 minutes.
Cook the tomato paste and red pepper flakes in butter for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Drizzle the tomato butter over the soup and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Do not pour the ayran into boiling soup all at once; tempering it with two ladles of hot broth greatly reduces the risk of curdling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve korkoto soup hot in bowls with optional cornbread and sauteed pickles.
